Product Description

FleetLine Heavy Duty Shock Absorber

Features & Benefits

• Mount finish resists degradation from salt-treated roadways
• Solid steel eye rings and fully arc-welded end mounts strengthen the connection points

FleetLineTM Shocks – Commercial Truck and Trailer Shocks (85000 series) - Added durability makes the Fleetline™ 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® 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’s 1 5/8-inch bore expands internal oil capacity for stronger hydraulic control, while the bulged housing contributes additional cooling volume for intense operating cycles. It is used on Kenworth and Peterbilt vehicles that log long distances while carrying fluctuating loads, requiring stable damping to prevent frame shudder on uneven stretches of highway. The piston seal design and anti-fade shock oil support a predictable response throughout temperature swings. The Gabriel 85067 provides suspension stability tailored for long-haul trucks requiring steady cab and axle control.
