Front Shock Absorber for 1989-2024 Blue Bird All American FE & More - Monroe 65540

Keep a hardworking bus or truck riding steady with this Monroe shock absorber, the Magnum 65540 front unit built for heavy commercial service. It is a direct-fit replacement for the 1989-2024 Blue Bird All American FE, the 1989-2024 Blue Bird All American RE, the 2004-2024 Blue Bird Vision School Bus and the 2013-2021 Peterbilt 579.

The Magnum is designed for the high mileage and severe use of class 6-8 trucks and buses. Its nitrogen gas charge provides the fast response that heavy-duty suspensions need.

• Consistent ride: All-weather fluid with special additives helps it cope with extreme temperatures and helps reduce oil breakdown. On most applications, a larger 2-3/8 in. reserve tube holds more fluid.
• Handling control: 10-stage valving, tuned to each vehicle, adjusts to road extremes. On most applications, a larger 1-3/4 in. bore provides more efficient damping control.
• Strong and durable: A shouldered bushing and a bonded bushing with sleeve guard against bushing walkout, and arc welds of up to 360° add durability.
• Built to last: On most applications, a robust hydraulic lock-out helps prevent air bag over-extension, piston top-out and damage to the seal assembly. On most applications, a PTFE-coated bearing also reduces friction between the rod and rod guide and works with a nitrocarburized piston rod.

The gas charge is designed to help keep the tires in contact with the road by reducing aeration and shock fade. A suspension shock absorber may need replacing if you notice excessive bouncing, fluid leaking from the body or uneven tire wear. The 65540 is backed by Monroe's 90-day Risk Free Ride Offer and Limited Commercial Warranty.
