Product Description

FleetLine Heavy Duty Shock Absorber

Features & Benefits

• 1‑3/8″ bore engineered for consistent performance on heavy-duty steer-axle and front-suspension applications
• Heavy-duty eye-ring bushings for secure mounting and reduced risk of failure under rough roads and heavy loads
• Self-compensating piston seal ensures stable damping throughout the shock’s life
• Chromed piston rod for corrosion protection and smooth seal lubrication
• Dust tube and internal protection shield components from dirt and damage, prolonging shock lifespan
• Heavy-duty valving delivers consistent compression and rebound control for improved ride comfort and vehicle stability
• Designed to maintain proper ride height and handling even under heavy or uneven loads

FleetLine Shocks - Commercial Truck and Trailer Shocks (83000 series) - Designed as a direct replacement for the original equipment shock, FleetLineTM 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. A hydraulic rebound stop, where required, prevents shocks from topping out and suspensions from overextending

Gabriel Suspension Shock Absorber

The Gabriel Suspension Shock Absorber provides reliable, direct-fit damping for heavy-duty steer-axle and front-suspension applications, specifically engineered for trucks like Freightliner and compatible models. It features a 1-3/8″ bore that delivers consistent compression and rebound control, helping reduce vibration transfer to the chassis and improving driver comfort on long hauls. The Gabriel 83396 shock uses heavy-duty eye-ring bushings for secure and durable mounting under rough roads and heavy loads. Its self-compensating piston seal maintains stable damping throughout the life of the shock, while the chromed piston rod protects against corrosion and ensures smooth seal operation. This design helps keep trucks stable, maintains proper ride height, and delivers dependable performance over extended service intervals.
