KYB 565052 Shock Absorber - Rear

KYB MonoMax Rear Shock Absorber 565052

The KYB MonoMax 565052 is a heavy-duty rear shock absorber built for Toyota trucks and SUVs that carry more weight, tow, or see rougher road conditions. Its monotube design is tuned for added stability, consistent control, and fade-resistant performance in demanding use.

Key Features

• Large-bore monotube construction for improved handling and control
• Up to 40% more damping performance than standard shock absorbers
• Zinc-coated stainless steel piston ring for a positive seal in severe conditions
• Rubber dust boot helps protect the shaft and keep dirt away from the seals
• Engineered to work with vehicles equipped with electronic safety systems such as ESC and ABS
• Rear position application for Toyota Tacoma, Toyota Pickup, Toyota Land Cruiser, and Toyota 4Runner

Product Details

KYB MonoMax is the brand’s truck-focused shock line, and part number 565052 is built for rear suspension use on standard, non-lifted applications. The monotube design helps maintain damping consistency under load, while the work-ready seal and dust protection support durability in off-road, towing, and hauling conditions. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 37113, 37114) for the same application.
