Tame ride motion and help keep the tires planted on your heavy-duty rig with the Monroe Magnum Suspension Shock Absorber 65495, a rear-position damper built for class 6-8 trucks and buses. It installs as a direct-fit replacement across a long list of Kenworth and Peterbilt applications, including the 1981-2016 Kenworth C500, 1982-2021 Kenworth W900, 2001-2021 Kenworth T800, 1990-2007 Peterbilt 379 and 2008-2024 Peterbilt 389 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
A robust hydraulic lock-out helps prevent over-extension of the air bags and piston top-out, while the PTFE-coated bearing and nitrocarburized piston rod are designed for durability and longer service life (most applications). Backed by Monroe's 90-day Risk Free Ride Offer and Limited Commercial Warranty. Sold individually; replace both sides on an axle together as a matched pair for balanced ride control.
