#MON65497
Product Overview
The Monroe® Magnum® shock absorber for class 6-8 vehicles is the first gas-charged, large-bore shock for air spring and taper leaf suspensions. The nitrogen gas charge provides the fast response essential for today’s heavy-duty truck suspension systems.
Features & Benefits
- Nitrogen gas-charge improves ride and handling, maintaining tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration and shock fade.
- A robust, patented hydraulic lockout prevents over-extension of air bags, top-out of the piston, and averts damage to the seal assembly (most applications).
- Features strong and durable construction with resistance and 360 deg arc-welded mounts providing 15,000 lbs of tensile strength, while shouldered and bonded bushings with sleeves protect from walkout for improved quality.
- A hardened, nitrocarburized 23/32 in diameter chrome piston rod combined with a PTFE-coated bearing reduces friction, providing durability and a longer service life (most applications).
- Exceptional handling is achieved via 10-stage valving, tuned specifically to each vehicle, which adjusts to road extremes while the large bore provides more efficient damping control for a consistent and smooth ride (most applications).
- For hardworking commercial vehicles - designed to handle the demands of high mileage and severe use class 6-8 trucks and buses.
- Single-Lip, Low-Friction Oil Seal.
- Heavy Wall Drawn Over Mandrel Pressure Tube.
- All-weather fluid contains special additives to assist with extreme temperatures and help reduce oil breakdown while the larger reserve tube holds more fluid to improve performance (most applications).
