Rear Gas Shock Absorbers (Pair) – Toyota LandCruiser 80 100 105 Series
Upgrade or replace your rear suspension ride quality on your Toyota LandCruiser 80 Series (FZJ80/HDJ80/HZJ80/HDJ81), 100 Series (HDJ100/HZJ105) or 105 Series (HZJ105) with this pair of high-performance gas shock absorbers. Designed for better damping, reduced bounce and improved stability when towing, carrying heavy loads, off-roading or driving on rough gravel/corrugations across Australia – perfect for work tourers, family cruisers or 4x4s that feel bouncy, floaty or bottom out with worn factory shocks.
Key Features
- Sold as a pair (left + right rear shocks) – complete ready-to-install set
- Direct bolt-on fit for Toyota LandCruiser 80 Series (1990-1997), 100 Series (1998-2007) and 105 Series (1998-2007)
- Gas-pressurised twin-tube design – reduces fade under heat/load and improves rebound control
- Heavy-duty 35-40mm piston with multi-stage valving – tuned for loaded & unloaded comfort
- Thick chrome-plated shaft and reinforced eyelet mounts – resists corrosion and wear in mud/dust
- High-temp oil and seals – maintains performance in 40°C+ Aussie summer heat
- Compatible with factory or aftermarket springs, coils, airbags and lift kits (up to moderate heights)
Benefits
- Smoother, more controlled ride – less bounce and body roll on corrugations or highways
- Better stability when towing or loaded – reduces sway and improves braking/handling
- Eliminates floating or harsh rebound – keeps tyres planted for safer off-road and gravel driving
- Longer life than standard shocks – handles heat, dust and heavy use without fading
- Essential for roadworthy & comfort – worn shocks can fail inspection or make long trips tiring in NSW
- Great for high-mileage work rigs, touring builds or resto projects – transforms your 80/100/105 Series ride
Fitment Notes
- Suitable for Toyota LandCruiser 80 Series (1990-1997), 100 Series (1998-2007) and 105 Series (1998-2007) rear suspension
- Professional installation recommended – torque mounts to spec, check alignment and test ride after fitting
- Replace all four shocks (front + rear) for balanced handling – inspect springs/bushings while replacing
- Confirm your lift height – standard length for stock/1-2" lift; longer versions available for higher lifts

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the main benefits of gas-pressurized shock absorbers on a touring 4WD?
Standard hydraulic shocks can suffer from shock fade on rough roads when the oil heats up and dynamic bubbles form. These heavy-duty dampers feature a gas-pressurized nitrogen layout that keeps the internal fluid under pressure. This layout stops oil aeration and foaming during rapid piston cycles, providing consistent ride control and stable handling on corrugated outback tracks.
Which specific LandCruiser models and axle configurations does this rear pair fit?
This replacement rear shock absorber pair is precision-engineered to suit the live-axle, coil-sprung 105 Series wagon family. It provides a direct mechanical fit for the 4.5L petrol FZJ105 and the 4.2L naturally aspirated diesel HZJ105 platforms layout. Please note that these are designed for the solid front axle 100/105 chassis variants and do not fit the independent front suspension (IFS) 100 Series models.
What are the symptoms of worn or failing rear shock absorbers?
The most visible warning symptom is excessive vehicle bouncing, dipping, or body roll when cornering or coming to a stop. You may also observe an external hydraulic fluid leak running down the shock housing tube, uneven "cupping" tread wear patterns on your rear tires, or a harsh clanking noise over bumps caused by degraded rubber mounting eyelet bushes.
Is this product supplied as a complete matching pair for the rear axle?
Yes, this product is bundled as a comprehensive 2-piece kit containing both matching rear gas shock absorbers. Replacing your suspension dampers as a pair across the same axle layout is essential to ensure equal damping force and tracking stability, preventing safety hazards from unbalanced rebound rates under heavy towing loads.
Why should you prime new gas shock absorbers vertically before installation?
Proper execution prior to final vehicle assembly is vital to guarantee optimal ride performance. During transport and horizontal storage, the internal gas and oil can bleed into the wrong valving chambers. Before bolting them up, you must hold the shock vertically, compress the piston rod fully, and let it extend completely layout. Repeating this cycle 3 to 4 times primes the valving and ensures immediate damping control from the first drive.
