Keep a hardworking Freightliner riding smooth and under control with the Monroe Magnum Suspension Shock Absorber 65543 — the first gas-charged, large-bore shock designed for air spring and taper leaf suspensions. It installs as a rear replacement for the 2016-2024 Freightliner Cascadia (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details), and its nitrogen gas charge delivers the fast response that class 6-8 trucks and buses demand.

  • Exceptional handling: 10-stage valving tuned to each vehicle adjusts to road extremes, while the larger 1-3/4-in. bore provides more efficient damping control for a smooth, consistent ride (most applications).
  • Consistent ride: All-weather fluid with special additives helps handle extreme temperatures and reduces oil breakdown, and the larger 2-3/8-in. reserve tube holds more fluid (most applications).
  • Strong and durable: A shouldered and bonded bushing with sleeve protects against bushing walkout, backed by arc welds up to 360°.
  • Longer service life: A PTFE-coated bearing reduces friction between the rod and rod guide, and a nitrocarburized piston rod adds durability (most applications).

A robust hydraulic lock-out helps prevent over-extension of air bags, piston top-out and seal damage (most applications), while the nitrogen gas-charge maintains tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration and shock fade. Worn shocks can show up as excessive bouncing, poor ride control or uneven tire wear — if the original shock is the cause, this replaces it. Comes with Monroe's 90-day Risk Free Ride Offer and Limited Commercial Warranty.
