KYB 565034 Shock Absorber - Rear

KYB MonoMax Rear Shock Absorber

The KYB MonoMax 565034 is a heavy-duty rear shock absorber built for trucks and SUVs that carry weight, tow, or see rough road use. Its monotube design is tuned for added control and stability on vehicles like the Chevrolet Express 3500, GMC Savana 3500, Tahoe, and Yukon.

KYB MonoMax shocks are part of the MonoMax line, which focuses on truck-specific suspension performance. This rear shock uses a large-bore monotube layout, 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.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify compressed length, extended length, and mount style before installation. This shock uses lower mount type E2(14.6X41) and upper mount type E3(61.6X87X0). Confirm rear-position fitment against the vehicle’s suspension configuration, especially on Express 3500 and Savana 3500 models with single rear wheels. Inspect related suspension components before installation to ensure the new shock can perform as intended.
