Designed as a gas-charged, large-bore shock for the air spring and taper leaf suspensions on class 6-8 trucks and buses, it drops in as a rear-position replacement across a wide range of commercial applications — including the 1996-1998 Ford AT9513, 2008-2024 Freightliner Cascadia, 2002-2025 Freightliner M2 106, 1996-2011 Freightliner Century Class, 1999-2010 Sterling Truck A9500, and many Western Star and Thomas models. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Nitrogen gas charge: Maintains tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration and shock fade for improved ride and handling.
Consistent ride: All-weather fluid resists breakdown in extreme temperatures, and a larger 2-3/8-in. reserve tube holds more fluid on most applications.
Exceptional handling: 10-Stage valving tuned to each vehicle works with a larger 1-3/4-in. bore for more efficient damping control on most applications.
Built to last: Shouldered and bonded bushing with sleeve resists bushing walkout, with arc welds up to 360° and a nitrocarburized piston rod for durability.
Backed by Monroe's 90-day Risk Free Ride Offer and Limited Commercial Warranty.
