Tame heavy loads and rough roads with the KYB MonoMax Shock Absorber (P/N 565041), a KYB shock absorber built for trucks that do real work. This high-pressure monotube gas shock installs as a direct-fit rear replacement for the 1997-2004 Dodge Dakota and 1998-2003 Dodge Durango. A shock absorber dampens the oscillation of the suspension springs to help control body motion, ride and handling.
If your original rear shocks are worn, you may notice excessive bounce, nose dive under braking, poor handling or uneven tire wear; if worn shocks are the cause, this KYB gas shock absorber replaces them. Replacing both rear shocks together is good practice for balanced, even damping.

What are the signs my rear shocks need replacing?
Excessive bounce, nose dive under braking, poor handling or uneven tire wear may signal worn shocks. Diagnose the cause first, since other suspension parts can produce similar symptoms.
