Keep your class 6-8 truck riding smooth and under control with the Monroe Magnum Suspension Shock Absorber 65102, a gas-charged, large-bore shock designed for the front and rear of hardworking commercial vehicles and buses. It installs as a direct-fit replacement across a wide range of heavy-duty applications, including the 1994 Ford B-700, 1994-1998 Ford FT900, 1982-2024 Kenworth W900, 1987-2022 Kenworth T800 and 1999-2008 Sterling Truck LT9500 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of 41 applications.
- Gas-charged, large-bore design: the first gas-charged, large-bore shock for air spring and taper leaf suspensions; the nitrogen gas charge provides fast response for heavy-duty truck systems.
- Consistent ride: all-weather fluid with special additives for extreme temperatures helps reduce oil breakdown, and a larger 2-3/8-in. reserve tube holds more fluid (most applications).
- Exceptional handling: 10-Stage valving tuned to each vehicle, with a larger 1-3/4-in. bore for more efficient damping control (most applications).
- Strong and durable: shouldered bushing and bonded bushing with sleeve help protect against bushing walkout, with arc welds up to 360° for durability.
A robust hydraulic lock-out helps prevent over-extension of air bags, piston top-out and seal-assembly damage (most applications), while a PTFE-coated bearing and nitrocarburized piston rod reduce friction for longer service life. The nitrogen gas charge helps maintain tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration and shock fade. Backed by Monroe's 90-day Risk Free Ride Offer and Limited Commercial Warranty.
