Built for vehicles that do real work, the KYB shock absorber 565050 is the MonoMax high-pressure monotube gas shock — a heavy-duty rear unit engineered for hauling, towing, and off-road use. It installs as a direct-fit rear shock on the 1985-2005 Chevrolet Astro, 1985-2005 GMC Safari, and 1986-1991 Volkswagen Vanagon; see the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your exact vehicle and engine.

  • Large-bore monotube design: delivers up to 40% more damping performance than standard shock absorbers, with a design that automatically adjusts to driving conditions for fade-free performance.
  • Zinc-coated, stainless steel piston ring: provides a positive seal in the most extreme conditions.
  • Rubber boot: an off-road dust boot protects the shaft and keeps dirt and debris away from the seals.
  • Safety-system friendly: engineered to help vehicles equipped with electronic safety systems (ESC, ABS, etc.).

This KYB gas shock absorber adds the extra stability and control heavier, higher-center-of-gravity vehicles demand, standing up to real work loads without fading. Sold individually — this listing is for one rear shock.
