KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:565086
KYB 5540020 rear shock absorber for the 2014-2025 Ram 2500 and other vehicles damps rear suspension movement with a high-pressure gas monotube design. The KYB gas shock absorber adds up to 25% more damping performance over original equipment shocks.
Fluid leaking from the shock body, a bouncy ride or clunking from the rear can mean this shock is worn, though worn springs or loose mounting bushings can be behind the same signs. Rear shocks are normally replaced as a pair, and this listing is one suspension shock absorber; the rear axle takes one on each side.
It fits the 2014-2025 Ram 2500 and the 2007-2010 Dodge Ram 3500, and its components and valving are designed specifically for Rams. The extra damping over the original design suits vehicles that work, tow and carry larger, heavier tires and wheels.
