Features:

• Robust hydraulic lock-out: Prevents over-extension of the suspension, top-out of the piston and averts damage to the seal assembly - when required
• PTFE coated bearing: Reduces friction during operation between the rod and rod guide, improving durability - on most applications
• Tenneco shouldered bushings: Shouldered bushing and bonded bushing with sleeve designs prevent (bushing walkout) for improved quality and durability - on most applications
• Nitrogen gas-charged: For improved ride and handling, helps maintain tire to road contact by reducing aeration - on most applications
• Loop welding technique: Resistance weld with additional 360-degree weld to provide up to 15,000 lbs. (6,804 kg) tensile strength for maximum durability - when required
• 2-3/8 inch (60.3 mm) reserve tube: More fluid for more consistent performance - on most applications
• 1-3/4-inch (44.6 mm) bore: Large bore than most shocks to provide more consistent control
• .05-inch Pressure tube withstanding pressure of 9KPSI
• 10-stage valving: Reacts to wide range of driving conditions - on most applications

Details: 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 truck suspension systems.
