KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:5530021
KYB 565061 rear shock absorber for the 1988-1999 Chevrolet C1500 and other vehicles is a high pressure monotube gas shock that damps suspension movement. This KYB shock absorber is a large bore MonoMax for trucks, with up to 40% more damping performance than standard shock absorbers.
Oil on the shock body, a bouncy ride or poor control with a load can mean this shock is worn, though a tired spring or a worn bushing may be behind the same signs, so find the cause before you replace anything.
Among the many vehicles it fits are the 1988-1999 Chevrolet K1500 and the 1995-1999 Chevrolet Tahoe. If your truck is not named here, look up its model on the Buyer's Guide tab. This listing is one shock, and the other rear shock on the same axle is normally replaced at the same time.
