Product Details

KYB MonoMax is the truck-focused line in the KYB suspension shock absorber range, built for heavier vehicles and higher center-of-gravity setups that need firmer rear control. This KYB 5650012 rear shock absorber uses a monotube construction to maintain damping consistency when the Tacoma is hauling cargo, towing a trailer, or traveling on uneven surfaces. It is a direct-fit rear shock for 2005-2023 Toyota Tacoma models listed in the fitment data, and the part number 5650012 is also useful when cross-checking replacement options.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excess rear bounce after bumps or dips
• Reduced control when towing or carrying heavy loads
• Rear-end instability on rough pavement or off-road surfaces
• Shock fade during repeated suspension movement
• Worn rear damping on a Toyota Tacoma used for work or trail driving
