Product Details

KYB MonoMax is the brand’s truck-focused shock and strut line, developed for heavier vehicles and drivers who need more control under load. This KYB MonoMax 564002 uses a large-bore monotube construction to maintain fade-resistant performance and stable response when the suspension is working hard. It is a direct fit for the front of 1996-2002 Toyota 4Runner models and is suited to vehicles used for towing, hauling, or off-road driving.

This part cross-references Gabriel G51077 for the same application.

Common Problems It Can Help Address

• Excessive front-end bounce over uneven pavement
• Reduced stability when towing or carrying cargo
• Weak damping from worn suspension struts
• Loss of control on rough roads or off-road surfaces
• Noise and contamination around the shaft area
