Product Description

FleetLine Heavy Duty Shock Absorber

Features & Benefits

• Shock body resists deformation under repeated deep-compression cycles
• Anti-damage coating extends service life in harsh weather and road salt exposure
• Valving pattern improves response consistency across low and high-speed maneuvers
• Adjustable tuning helps compensate for chassis feel changes over the life of the vehicle

GasSLXTM Shocks – Adjustable Commercial Truck and Trailer Shocks (89000 series) - The three position GasSLX™ adjustable shocks absorbers by Gabriel® allow you to choose from one of three settings – Firm, Regular and Extra Firm – to match different applications. The GasSLX shock incorporates a gas cell design, creating a physical barrier between gas and fluid, preventing aeration which can cause fade, or reduction in damping force. This gas cell technology is a full-life feature and is better suited for longer-life commercial vehicle applications. And like all Gabriel shocks and struts, GasSLX shocks feature a super-finished chrome piston rod for superior corrosion resistance and a leak-proof piston seal which extends product life. Advanced gas cell technology improves gas retention and provides more consistent high temperature operation. Unique pressurized piston seal design reduces force-velocity variabilities and self compensates for wear.

Gabriel Suspension Shock Absorber

The Gabriel Suspension Shock Absorber is built for Class 7 and 8 vehicles that switch between long-haul runs and stop-and-go routes, including school buses and transit fleets. It features three damping settings, regular, firm, and extra-firm, allowing the suspension to be adjusted for comfort, handling, or OE-spec performance. At the heart of the shock, a chromed piston rod protects against wear and preserves seal lubrication. The Gas Cell system isolates the sealed gas chamber from the hydraulic fluid, preventing aeration and maintaining a steady response throughout extended operation. High-temperature shock fluid with a multi-lip Viton rod seal helps minimize friction under heavy loads and extreme temperatures. Shop the Gabriel 89408 today.
