Detailed Description

FCS 346051 is a suspension shock absorber specified for the rear position on the Toyota 4Runner from 1996 through 2002. The dimensional specs are important for matching suspension travel, ride height range, and mounting geometry, especially when replacing a worn rear shock on a 4Runner that has developed excess bounce, reduced damping control, or uneven rear suspension response. If you are searching for a rear shock absorber for 1996-2002 Toyota 4Runner, FCS 346051 provides the fitment and travel measurements needed for a direct application match.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear fitment against the vehicle year before installation on a 1996-2002 Toyota 4Runner. Compare the compressed length, extended length, and stroke length to the original shock absorber to confirm suspension travel and mounting clearance. Inspect surrounding rear suspension components for wear before replacing the shock, and confirm all mounting points are clean and free of damage prior to installation.
