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.

  • Heavy-duty monotube design: the large-bore MonoMax is engineered to deliver up to 40% more damping performance than standard shock absorbers, adding stability for heavier, more powerful or high-center-of-gravity vehicles that tow, haul or go off-road.
  • Zinc-coated piston ring: provides a positive seal in the most extreme conditions.
  • Rubber boot: protects the shaft and helps keep dirt and debris away from the seals.
  • Safety-system aware: engineered to help vehicles equipped with electronic safety systems such as ESC and ABS.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What vehicles does the KYB 565041 shock fit?

It is a direct-fit rear replacement for the 1997-2004 Dodge Dakota and 1998-2003 Dodge Durango. See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the fit for your exact vehicle.

Is this a rear or front shock absorber?

This KYB MonoMax shock is cataloged for the rear position on the listed Dakota and Durango applications.

What type of shock absorber is the KYB 565041?

It is a high-pressure monotube gas shock absorber from KYB's heavy-duty MonoMax truck line, designed for vehicles that tow, haul heavy loads or go off-road.

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.

Should I compare the KYB shock absorber price against replacing one or both sides?

Replacing both rear shocks together is recommended so damping stays balanced and even from side to side, which is worth factoring into the total cost.
