KYB MonoMax Gas Shocks

KYB MonoMax Shock Application Guide

Small trucks, SUVs and 4WDs are prized for their versatility, but their top-heavy construction lends itself to loose, unstable handling--excessive pitch and roll in turns, nose dive and squat when stopping and accelerating. Driving can be less enjoyable, even dangerous. But it doesn't have to be. Rugged, precision-engineered KYB MonoMax shocks give SUVs and trucks a taut, sedan-like ride regular shocks cannot deliver.

• Eliminates nose dive when braking
• Controls vehicle pitch and roll
• Reduces acceleration squat
• Precisely controls ride with auto-adapt valving

The best ride control means nothing if it doesn't last. That's why KYB has engineered MonoMax Shocks to endure the punishment of off-road driving and still outlast regular shocks.

• Hardened chromed 5/8" diameter piston rod is the largest on the market, resulting in unmatched side and load strength.
• Beefed-up 46mm diameter bore and piston handles the heaviest loads with ease.
• Floating piston and monotube design eliminates fade and maintains shock performance under hard use.
• Self-sealed packing keeps oil in and contaminants out to ensure proper performance.
• Micro-smooth, hard-chromed piston rods provide longer seal life and reliability.
• Sintered iron pistons and guide rods for extended shock life and durability.
• Seamless cylinders and eye rings eliminate weak points and seam failures.
• Velocity-sensitive valving adjusts automatically to harsh road conditions.
