KYB 565014 Shock Absorber - Front

KYB MonoMax Front Shock for Ford Trucks

KYB MonoMax 565014 is a heavy-duty front shock absorber built for Ford trucks and vans that carry weight, tow, or see rough road use. Its monotube design is tuned for added control and stable handling on vehicles with a higher center of gravity, including Ford E-150, E-250, E-350 Super Duty, F-250 Super Duty, F-350 Super Duty, and Excursion applications.

Key Features

• Monotube shock design for consistent damping and improved control
• Up to 40% more damping performance than standard shock absorbers
• Zinc-coated stainless steel piston ring for sealing in demanding conditions
• Rubber dust boot included to help protect the shaft and seals
• Engineered to work with electronic safety systems such as ESC and ABS
• Front-position shock absorber for Ford truck and van suspension upgrades

Built for Heavy-Duty Ford Use

The KYB MonoMax line is focused on truck and van suspension performance, with a large-bore monotube construction that responds to changing road conditions and helps maintain fade-free damping. Part number 565014 is a practical upgrade for drivers who need firmer control on a Ford E-250 front suspension, a Ford F-350 Super Duty front shock replacement, or a Ford Excursion front suspension service. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 911173) for the same application.

Common Problems This Shock Can Address

• Excessive front-end bounce after bumps or dips
• Reduced stability when towing or hauling heavy loads
• Loose or unsettled steering feel on rough pavement
• Shock fade during repeated load changes or long drives
• Wear from dirt, debris, and harsh road conditions
