KYB 565028 Shock Absorber - Rear

KYB MonoMax Rear Shock for Truck Use

The KYB MonoMax 565028 is a heavy-duty rear shock absorber built for trucks that carry loads, tow, or see rough road use. Its monotube design is made to deliver consistent damping and added control for Nissan Frontier, Nissan Pickup, Nissan D21, and Toyota Pickup applications.

KYB’s MonoMax line focuses on truck-specific suspension performance, with a large-bore monotube layout that responds to changing road conditions and helps maintain stability on vehicles with a higher center of gravity. Part number 565028 is a rear shock option for drivers looking to restore control without moving away from a truck-oriented shock design.

Detailed Description

The KYB MonoMax 565028 is built for rear suspension applications where added control matters. Its truck monotube design is intended to outperform standard twin-tube style shocks by improving damping response and maintaining fade-resistant performance under load. This makes it a practical choice for Nissan Frontier rear shock replacement, Nissan Pickup rear shock replacement, Nissan D21 rear shock replacement, and Toyota Pickup rear shock replacement applications listed below.

Part number 565028 uses a work-ready piston ring and includes an off-road dust boot to help protect internal components from dirt and debris. The design is suited to vehicles that tow, haul, or operate in uneven terrain, and it is also engineered to support systems such as ESC and ABS. This part cross-references Gabriel 77492 for the same application.

Common Reasons to Replace

• Rear-end bounce or reduced damping control
• Excessive body movement when towing or hauling
• Loss of stability on rough roads or off-road surfaces
• Worn shock seals or reduced shock response over time
• Need for a truck-focused suspension upgrade on a compatible Nissan or Toyota pickup

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear suspension fitment by year, make, and model before installation. This shock uses E1 upper and lower mounts, so the existing mounting points should be checked for match and condition. Inspect related suspension hardware, bushings, and mounting surfaces for wear before replacing the shock absorber. Confirm that the compressed and extended lengths align with the vehicle’s rear suspension travel requirements.

Quality Assurance

KYB is known for suspension components used in demanding truck applications, and the MonoMax line is built around durability, control, and consistent damping performance. Part number 565028 is a rear shock absorber designed for long-term service in work and off-road conditions.
