KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:344438
KYB 565020 front shock absorber for the 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler and other vehicles is a high pressure monotube gas shock that controls spring and wheel movement. This KYB gas shock absorber adds up to 40% more damping performance than standard shock absorbers.
A bouncy ride, extra body roll or oil on the shock body can mean a shock is worn. Those signs alone do not prove the shock is the problem, since tired tires can also change how the ride feels. Front shocks are best replaced as a pair so both sides damp alike; this listing is one.
It fits the 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler and the 1997-2006 Jeep TJ.
