Monroe Shocks & Struts Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:5543
Bring firm, gas-charged damping back to the rear axle of your heavy-duty Peterbilt with the Monroe Magnum Suspension Shock Absorber 65400 — a rear-position shock built for the demands of high-mileage, severe-use class 6-8 trucks and buses. It's the first gas-charged, large-bore shock designed for air spring and taper leaf suspensions, and its nitrogen gas charge provides the fast response heavy-duty truck suspensions rely on. It's a direct-fit rear replacement for a wide range of Peterbilt models, including the 357 (1986-2008), 362 (1981-2006), 377 (1987-2001), 378 (1988-2007), 379 (1986-2007), 384 (2008-2016) and 386 (2006-2016) — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
A PTFE-coated bearing reduces friction between the rod and rod guide, and a nitrocarburized piston rod adds durability and longer service life (most applications). The nitrogen gas charge helps maintain tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration and shock fade, and the design isolates impact-related noise, vibration and harshness under most driving conditions. Backed by Monroe's 90-day Risk Free Ride Offer and Limited Commercial Warranty.
