Help keep a hard-working truck's suspension damped and controlled with the Monroe Magnum Shock Absorber, part number 65541. This gas-charged, large-bore shock is designed for air spring and taper leaf suspensions on class 6-8 vehicles. It is a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 2010-2024 Kenworth W900, 2019-2024 Kenworth W990 and 2010-2023 Kenworth T800. It is cataloged for both front and rear suspension positions.
The nitrogen gas charge gives fast response and helps maintain tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration and shock fade. The Magnum is designed for the high mileage and severe use of class 6-8 trucks and buses.
- Consistent ride: All-weather fluid has additives that help with extreme temperatures and reduce oil breakdown. A larger 2-3/8-in. reserve tube holds more fluid (most applications).
- Damping control: 10-stage valving, tuned to each vehicle, adjusts to road extremes. A larger 1-3/4-in. bore provides more efficient damping control (most applications).
- Strong construction: A shouldered bushing and a bonded bushing with sleeve protect against bushing walkout. Arc welds run up to 360°.
- Lock-out and low friction: On most applications, a hydraulic lock-out is designed to prevent over-extension of the air bags and piston top-out, which helps avert seal-assembly damage. On most applications, a PTFE-coated bearing reduces friction between the rod and rod guide and works with a nitrocarburized piston rod.
Signs a shock absorber may need replacing include excessive bouncing, fluid leaks and worn bushings. The shock is backed by Monroe's 90-day Risk Free Ride Offer and Limited Commercial Warranty.
