Product Description

FleetLine Heavy Duty Shock Absorber

Features & Benefits

• Large 1‑5/8″ bore for enhanced damping strength and durability under heavy-duty truck loads
• Bulged shock body design for increased fluid capacity and cooler operation during continuous or severe hauling
• Solid steel eye-ring bushings for secure and reliable suspension mounting under high stress
• Durable internal valving engineered for severe-duty operation and extended shock life
• Anti-corrosion eye mounts reduce rust and prevent bolt seizing, helping maintain uptime
• Heavy-duty design minimizes risk of mount failure or wear under extreme road conditions
• Chromed piston rod with premium seal design for corrosion resistance and consistent damping performance

FleetLine Shocks - Commercial Truck and Trailer Shocks (85000 series) - Added durability makes the FleetlineTM 85000 series the standard heavy duty product for today's low friction suspension. Designed as a direct replacement for the original equipment shock, FleetLine shock absorbers by Gabriel(R) provide a valving rate that compensates for initial truck suspension softening, providing performance that better matches the original ride. Built with original equipment quality components and 10 stage valving to ensure superior performance throughout the life of the shock, it also reduces wear and tear on other costly suspension and vehicle parts. And like all Gabriel shocks and struts, FleetLine shocks feature a super-finished chrome piston rod for superior corrosion resistance and a leak-proof piston seal which extends product life. Unique pressurized piston seal design reduces force-velocity variabilities and self compensates for wear. Cold formed, 360 degree arc-welded eye-ring and mounts and a 1 5/8" bore provide improved durability. A hydraulic rebound stop, where required, prevents shocks from topping out and suspensions from overextending

Gabriel Suspension Shock Absorber

The Gabriel Suspension Shock Absorber delivers strong damping performance and structural durability for heavy-duty truck applications. It uses a 1 5/8″ bore and a bulged shock body to increase fluid capacity, helping the shock run cooler under continuous heavy loads. The solid steel eye rings and 360° arc-welded end mounts provide excellent mounting strength and reduce the risk of end-mount failures. Its chromed piston rod and tight-sealing internal components help maintain consistent damping over time. This Gabriel 85642 shock is engineered to meet or exceed OE performance, giving fleet operators a dependable option for trucks that work in severe-duty environments.
