Product Description

FleetLine Heavy Duty Shock Absorber

Features & Benefits

• Internal 1-5/8 inch bore diameter to provide superior damping capacity and heat dissipation for heavy-duty axle loads
• Multi-lip piston seal and chrome-plated rod to prevent fluid leakage and protect against rod scoring from road debris
• Ten-stage all-weather hydraulic valving to deliver consistent damping performance across a wide range of operating temperatures
• Drawn-over-mandrel structural tubing to reduce internal friction and extend the service life of the piston assembly
• Forged steel eye rings and 360-degree arc-welded mounts to ensure maximum structural integrity at the connection points

Gabriel Suspension Shock Absorber

The Gabriel Suspension Shock Absorber features an expanded 1-5/8-inch bore design, providing the increased damping force required for heavy-duty commercial truck and trailer applications. Built as a heavy-duty FleetLine series component, the Gabriel 85738 features a pressurized self-adjusting sealing system that minimizes oil bypass and maintains consistent wheel-to-road contact under high-vibration conditions. The inclusion of a 10-stage all-weather fluid valving system allows the unit to adapt to varying load weights, preventing the "fade" often seen in lighter-duty shocks during long hauls. By absorbing high-velocity impacts and controlling axle oscillation, this shock protects expensive air springs and bushings from excessive strain, resulting in a more stable ride and lower maintenance costs for the entire suspension system.
