Monroe Shocks & Struts Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:65503

Keep every heavy-duty mile controlled with the Monroe Magnum Front Suspension Shock Absorber 65503, a gas-charged, large-bore shock built for the demands of class 6-8 trucks and buses. It installs up front on the 1989-2019 Blue Bird All American FE, the 1989-2020 Blue Bird All American RE, and the 1999-2023 Freightliner MT55 — see the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your unit. Monroe describes the Magnum as the first gas-charged, large-bore shock for air spring and taper leaf suspensions, using a nitrogen gas charge for the fast response heavy-duty suspensions demand.

• 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 (most applications).
• Exceptional handling: 10-Stage valving tuned to each vehicle, with a larger 1-3/4-in. bore for more efficient damping control and a smooth ride (most applications).
• Strong and durable: Shouldered bushing and bonded bushing with sleeve protect against bushing walkout, with arc welds up to 360° for durability.
• Longer service life: A PTFE-coated bearing reduces friction between rod and rod guide, and a nitrocarburized piston rod adds durability (most applications).

The nitrogen gas-charge helps maintain tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration and shock fade for improved ride and handling. Backed by Monroe's 90-day Risk Free Ride Offer and Limited Commercial Warranty.
