Product Details

KYB MonoMax shocks are built for trucks that carry weight, tow, or see rougher road conditions. The MonoMax line focuses on added control and durability, and this KYB 565064 rear shock uses a monotube construction to respond consistently as driving conditions change. For owners looking for a rear shock absorber for a lowered GM truck application, this part is listed for rear fitment on the Chevrolet S10, GMC Sonoma, GMC Jimmy, Chevrolet Blazer, Chevrolet S10 Blazer, GMC S15 Jimmy, GMC S15, and Isuzu Hombre. This part cross-references Gabriel 77422 for the same application.

Common Uses

• Rear-end bounce or instability on lowered trucks and SUVs
• Reduced control when towing or hauling heavier loads
• Excessive body movement over uneven pavement
• Need for firmer rear suspension response on GM S-series applications
• Wear-related loss of damping performance in the rear suspension

Installation Notes

Verify mount style and dimensions before installation, especially on lowered applications. This KYB MonoMax 565064 is listed for rear position use only, so match the vehicle year, model, and suspension setup exactly to the fitment data. Confirm clearance around the dust boot and suspension travel after installation.
