Product Details

The Monroe Reflex line focuses on handling, control, and performance for truck and SUV suspension systems. This rear shock absorber uses a monotube construction that responds quickly to suspension movement, while the gas-charged internal design helps maintain damping efficiency under changing road conditions. The 911517 part number is a practical choice for drivers servicing older GM compact truck and SUV platforms that need predictable rear suspension behavior.

This part cross-references KYB 565047 for the same application.

Common Problems It Helps Address

• Excessive rear bounce over uneven pavement
• Loose or unsettled rear-end feel during cornering
• Reduced control after shock wear or fluid fade
• Harsh response from tired rear suspension components
• Loss of damping consistency on light trucks and SUVs
