Product Details

The PRT Shock Absorber product line focuses on direct-fit suspension service parts for everyday repair work. This rear shock absorber is specified for the Toyota Tacoma rear position and uses a loop-to-loop mounting style, which is common in truck rear suspension layouts. Part number 173830 is a practical choice when replacing a worn rear shock on a 1999-2004 Toyota Tacoma and restoring controlled suspension movement.

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

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Excessive rear bounce after bumps or dips
• Reduced damping control from a worn rear shock
• Rear-end instability over uneven pavement
• Suspension noise caused by a deteriorated shock absorber
• Uneven ride quality in a 1999-2004 Toyota Tacoma rear suspension

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the rear mounting style before installation: this shock uses loop upper and lower mounts with center-of-the-loop measuring points. Confirm compressed length, extended length, and stroke against the vehicle’s suspension travel to ensure proper rear suspension operation on the Tacoma. Inspect mounting points and surrounding hardware for wear, corrosion, or damage before installing the new shock absorber.

Quality Assurance

PRT Performance Ride supplies suspension components for replacement service applications, and this shock absorber is built with a gas-charged design and a metal dust shield for added protection in rear suspension use.
