Keep every heavy-duty mile under control with the Monroe Magnum Front Suspension Shock Absorber 65162. It installs in the front position and is built for class 6-8 commercial trucks and buses, fitting many vehicles, among them the 2009-2025 Freightliner M2 106, 2012-2024 Freightliner 108SD and 2018-2023 Jayco Seneca — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine-level details.
- Gas-charged, large-bore design: The Magnum is the first gas-charged, large-bore shock for air spring and taper leaf suspensions; the nitrogen gas charge delivers the fast response demanded by heavy-duty truck suspension systems and helps reduce aeration and shock fade.
- Tuned 10-stage valving: Valving tuned to each vehicle adjusts to road extremes, while the larger 1-3/4-in. bore provides more efficient damping control for a consistent ride (most applications).
- All-weather fluid: Special additives assist with extreme temperatures and help reduce oil breakdown, and the larger 2-3/8-in. reserve tube holds more fluid (most applications).
- Built to last: Shouldered and bonded bushing with sleeve protects from bushing walkout, arc welds up to 360° add durability, a robust hydraulic lock-out helps prevent over-extension of the air bags (most applications), and the PTFE-coated bearing with nitrocarburized piston rod reduces friction for longer service life (most applications).
Backed by Monroe's 90-day Risk Free Ride Offer and Limited Commercial Warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
What position does the Monroe Magnum 65162 install in?
It is a front suspension shock absorber. Shocks work as a pair on an axle, so replacing both sides together is recommended for balanced, even control.
What vehicles does the 65162 fit?
It fits many vehicles, among them the 2009-2025 Freightliner M2 106, 2012-2024 Freightliner 108SD and 2018-2023 Jayco Seneca. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
What makes the Magnum a gas-charged shock?
It carries a nitrogen gas charge that provides fast response for heavy-duty suspensions and helps reduce aeration and shock fade, maintaining tire-to-road contact for improved ride and handling.
What are signs my shock absorber may need replacing?
Signs can include excessive bouncing, nose dive, poor ride control, uneven tire wear, or fluid leakage. Diagnose the cause before replacing, since other suspension parts can produce similar symptoms.
Is the 65162 designed for heavy-duty use?
Yes. It is designed to handle the demands of high-mileage, severe-use class 6-8 trucks and buses, with durability features like a shouldered and bonded bushing and arc welds up to 360°.
