Control ride vibration and keep your truck's front end planted with the Monroe Magnum Front Suspension Shock Absorber 66697. This gas-charged Magnum unit is built for class 3-6 high-mileage and severe-use commercial trucks and buses, and it drops in as a direct-fit front replacement for the 1999-2020 Freightliner MT45 and 1999-2020 Freightliner MT55 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.

  • Nitrogen gas-charge: helps maintain tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration and shock fade for improved ride and handling, and helps reduce excessive vibration when replacing worn-out units.
  • 10-Stage valving: tuned to the vehicle to adjust to road extremes, while a larger 1-3/8-in. bore provides more efficient damping control on most applications.
  • All-weather fluid: contains special additives to assist with extreme temperatures and help reduce oil breakdown; a 2-in. or 2-1/4-in. reserve tube holds more fluid when required.
  • Durable build: shouldered and bonded bushing with sleeve guards against bushing walkout, arc welds up to 360°, a PTFE-coated bearing reduces rod-to-rod-guide friction, and a nitrocarburized piston rod supports longer service life on most applications.

A robust hydraulic lock-out helps prevent piston top-out and seal damage on most applications. Backed by Monroe's 90-day Risk Free Ride Offer and Limited Commercial Warranty.
