The EFS Elite Front Shock Absorber (36-5538) is purpose-built for Toyota Hilux and 4Runner/Surf 130-series vehicles equipped with independent front suspension and a 40 mm lift. As part of the EFS Elite Series, this shock combines precision damping with outstanding durability to deliver confident handling both on-road and off-road.
Featuring an open length of 368 mm and a closed length of 240 mm, the 36-5538 provides the ideal stroke for medium-lift IFS vehicles. Its Pin (top) and EB2-S (bottom) mounts ensure a secure, direct fit. Inside the 51–60 mm twin-tube nitrogen-gas body, a 35 mm piston and 16 mm hardened-chrome shaft deliver fade-free performance and heat resistance under heavy loads.
