Product Description

FleetLine Heavy Duty Shock Absorber

Features & Benefits

• Internal 1-5/8 inch bore diameter to provide superior damping capacity and heat dissipation for heavy-duty axle loads
• Multi-lip piston seal and chrome-plated rod to prevent fluid leakage and protect against rod scoring from road debris
• Ten-stage all-weather hydraulic valving to deliver consistent damping performance across a wide range of operating temperatures
• Drawn-over-mandrel structural tubing to reduce internal friction and extend the service life of the piston assembly
• Forged steel eye rings and 360-degree arc-welded mounts to ensure maximum structural integrity at the connection points

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 features an expanded 1-5/8-inch bore design, providing the increased damping force required for heavy-duty commercial truck and trailer applications. Built as a heavy-duty FleetLine series component, the Gabriel 85738 features a pressurized self-adjusting sealing system that minimizes oil bypass and maintains consistent wheel-to-road contact under high-vibration conditions. The inclusion of a 10-stage all-weather fluid valving system allows the unit to adapt to varying load weights, preventing the "fade" often seen in lighter-duty shocks during long hauls. By absorbing high-velocity impacts and controlling axle oscillation, this shock protects expensive air springs and bushings from excessive strain, resulting in a more stable ride and lower maintenance costs for the entire suspension system.
