Keep heavy-duty miles under control with the Monroe Magnum Front Suspension Shock Absorber 65121. This gas-charged, large-bore shock is built for class 6-8 trucks and buses running air spring and taper leaf suspensions, and it installs as a direct-fit front replacement for the 1989-2016 Blue Bird All American FE, 1989-2016 Blue Bird All American RE, and 1989-2004 Blue Bird TC2000 (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details).
- Nitrogen gas charge: Provides the fast response heavy-duty suspensions demand and helps maintain tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration and shock fade.
- Exceptional handling: 10-stage valving tuned to each vehicle adjusts to road extremes, while the larger 1-3/4-in. bore provides more efficient damping control on most applications.
- Consistent ride: All-weather fluid with special additives helps handle extreme temperatures and reduce oil breakdown, and a larger 2-3/8-in. reserve tube holds more fluid on most applications.
- Strong and durable: Shouldered and bonded bushings with a sleeve protect against bushing walkout, arc welds run up to 360°, and a PTFE-coated bearing with a nitrocarburized piston rod support longer service life on most applications.
A robust hydraulic lock-out helps prevent over-extension, piston top-out and seal damage on most applications, and the design helps isolate impact-related noise, vibration and harshness under most driving conditions. Backed by Monroe's 90-day Risk Free Ride Offer and Limited Commercial Warranty.
