KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:344047
KYB 565078 front shock absorber for the 1997-2004 Dodge Dakota and other vehicles controls spring movement and wheel motion at the front axle. Part of the KYB MonoMax line, this KYB shock absorber is a high pressure monotube gas design made just for trucks that tow, haul heavy loads or go off-road.
Oil film on the shock body, a bouncy ride over bumps or a front end that dives under braking can point to a worn shock, though worn bushings or springs can produce those symptoms too, so find the cause first. If a worn shock is the cause, this one replaces it.
Listed for a wide range of Dodge and Ford models, including the 1998-2003 Dodge Durango and the 1980-1996 Ford F-150. This listing is one shock for the front; the other side of the front axle is normally done at the same time. If your truck is not named here, look up its year and model on the Buyer's Guide tab.
Fit and size
Build and materials
One shock absorber with its rubber off-road dust boot. The vehicles it fits take two on the front axle.
Are these Ford F-150 shock absorbers right for the 1980-1996 model years?
Yes. KYB 565078 is listed for the front axle of the 1980-1996 Ford F-150, and each truck takes two.
Does the KYB MonoMax 565078 come with a dust boot?
Yes. This front shock absorber includes a rubber off-road dust boot that protects the shaft and keeps dirt and debris away from the seals.
Is this KYB gas shock absorber a monotube design?
Yes. KYB 565078 is a high pressure monotube gas shock with a large bore, and its damping performance is up to 40% higher than a standard shock absorber's.
How do I check whether the front shocks on my truck are worn?
With the engine off, look at the shock body for an oil film or dents. In normal driving, notice if the truck keeps bouncing after bumps or dives under braking; a shop can confirm.
Is the KYB 565078 made to work with ABS and stability control?
Yes. This front shock absorber is engineered to help vehicles with electronic safety systems such as ESC and ABS.
