KYB 565029 Shock Absorber - Front

KYB MonoMax 565029 Front Shock Absorber

The KYB MonoMax 565029 is a heavy-duty front suspension shock absorber built for trucks that carry weight, tow, or see rough road use. It delivers added control for Nissan Pickup, Nissan D21, Nissan 720, and Isuzu Pickup applications where stable handling matters.

MonoMax Heavy-Duty Shock Design

KYB’s MonoMax line focuses on truck suspension performance with a monotube design that responds consistently under load. This KYB MonoMax shock absorber uses a large-bore construction, a zinc-coated stainless steel piston ring for sealing in demanding conditions, and an off-road dust boot to help protect the shaft and seals.

• Up to 40% more damping performance than standard shock absorbers
• Monotube truck shock design for improved handling and control
• Zinc-coated stainless steel piston ring for a positive seal in extreme conditions
• Rubber boot helps keep dirt and debris away from the seals
• Fade-resistant performance for towing, hauling, and off-road use
• Front position application
