KYB 5650017 MonoMax Gas Shock Absorber Heavy Duty Monotube Truck Shock

The KYB MonoMax 5650017 is a heavy-duty monotube gas shock absorber (also called a truck shock or gas-charged shock) built for trucks, 4x4s and SUVs that tow, haul heavy loads or go off-road. The large-bore design adds stability for heavier, more powerful vehicles with a high center of gravity.

Key Features:

• High-pressure monotube design keeps the gas and oil separate. This prevents foaming and the fade it causes in twin-tube shocks under hard use.
• Floating piston design adjusts automatically to driving conditions. It adds damping when the shock travels faster or further, and gives a comfortable ride when conditions return to normal.
• Faster valve response, with up to 40% more damping than typical OE twin-tube designs.
• Zinc-coated steel piston ring for long-life reliability.
• Triple chrome-plated piston rod helps reduce seal wear.
• Multi-lip oil seal with an integrated wiper keeps fluid in and contaminants out.
• Rubber dust boot protects the shaft from debris that can wear the oil seal prematurely.

The MonoMax is KYB's most capable shock for work and off-road trucks. It gives better handling, control and durability than a standard replacement shock.
