Product Details

Built for demanding truck use, the KYB MonoMax line focuses on control, durability, and fade-resistant performance. The KYB MonoMax 565035 is a rear suspension shock absorber for 1993-1998 Toyota T100 applications, making it a direct choice for owners looking to restore or upgrade rear damping on a Toyota T100 used for hauling, towing, or off-road driving. This part cross-references Gabriel 77660 for the same application.

With a compressed length of 15.67 inches, extended length of 24.96 inches, and stroke length of 9.29 inches, this shock is sized for the listed rear fitment. The MonoMax product line is aimed at truck owners who need firmer control than a standard replacement shock can provide, especially when the vehicle carries extra weight or sees uneven terrain.

Common Problems This Shock Can Address

• Excessive rear bounce after bumps or dips
• Reduced stability when towing a trailer
• Rear-end sag and poor control under heavy cargo
• Harsh handling on rough or unpaved roads
• Worn shock performance that affects braking and steering feel

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 1993-1998 Toyota T100, rear. Verify mount style, compressed length, and extended length against the existing shock before installation. Inspect bushings, brackets, and surrounding suspension components for wear before replacing the shock absorber. If the vehicle uses electronic safety systems, confirm all suspension parts are in proper working order after installation.

Quality Assurance
