Keep every hardworking mile under control with the Monroe Magnum Front Suspension Shock Absorber 66402, a gas-charged unit built for class 3-6 commercial trucks and buses. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the front position on the 1999-2020 Freightliner MT45 and 1999-2020 Freightliner MT55 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for full engine details. Designed for high-mileage and severe-use service, it helps reduce excessive vibration when you replace worn-out units.
- Gas-charged design: Nitrogen gas-charge helps maintain tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration and shock fade for improved ride and handling.
- 10-stage valving: Tuned to the vehicle and paired with a larger 1-3/8-in. bore for more efficient damping control and a smooth ride on most applications.
- All-weather fluid: Special additives assist with extreme temperatures and help reduce oil breakdown, while a 2-in. or 2-1/4-in. reserve tube holds more fluid.
- Strong and durable: Shouldered and bonded bushing with sleeve guards against bushing walkout, with arc welds up to 360° and a PTFE-coated bearing for longer service life on most applications.
Backed by Monroe's 90-day Risk Free Ride Offer and Limited Commercial Warranty.
