MONROE part description

Features & Benefits

  • Gas pressure charge helps reduce foaming inside the shock body
  • Multi-stage valving reacts differently to small and large suspension movements
  • Hardened piston rod resists scoring from road grit and debris
  • Welded mounts help transmit forces cleanly into frame and axle brackets
  • Protective dust boot can shield the rod from stones and contaminants

Monroe Shock Absorber

The Monroe Shock Absorber serves light trucks and SUVs that regularly travel across broken pavement, gravel approaches, and uneven access lanes while carrying tools or moderate bed loads. Its gas-charged design helps the suspension settle quickly after bumps, which is useful for drivers who move between empty-bed driving and occasional hauling. The specified extended length works with factory suspension geometry so wheel travel remains controlled through the original range. The Monroe 65549 offers a ride-control option for vehicles that see a blend of everyday commuting and rougher secondary-road use.
