Product Details

The KYB SR2001 is part of KYB’s SR Series, a line focused on self-leveling suspension service for vehicles that rely on rear ride-height control. This shock absorber is designed for the rear position and uses the same mount style at both ends, with a compressed length of 12 inches, an extended length of 17.89 inches, and a 5.89-inch stroke. It is a direct-fit suspension shock absorber for select Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth minivans, including applications such as the Chrysler Town & Country, Dodge Caravan, Dodge Grand Caravan, Plymouth Grand Voyager, and Plymouth Voyager.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 40200 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Rear sagging or uneven ride height
• Loss of load-leveling performance
• Reduced rear suspension control
• Ride quality changes caused by worn self-leveling shocks
• Handling issues on vehicles with ESC or ABS systems affected by suspension imbalance

Installation Notes

Install the SR2001 at the rear position only on confirmed Nivomat-equipped applications. Verify mount style, compressed length, extended length, and stroke before installation. Because this shock is tied to factory ride-height control, inspect related rear suspension components for wear and confirm the vehicle’s original self-leveling setup before replacement. For fitment-based searches, this part is commonly selected for a rear shock absorber replacement on 1996-2000 Chrysler Town & Country, rear, and 1996-2000 Dodge Caravan, rear.

KYB builds the SR Series to OE replacement standards, with attention to original fit, ride height recovery, and on-vehicle performance. The SR2001 is engineered for factory-style suspension behavior on the listed Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth minivan applications.
