Monroe Shock Absorber (MPN: 65420)

Durable nitrogen gas charged shock for enhanced vehicle control and comfort.

The Monroe Shock Absorber is engineered to provide firm control while ensuring a smooth ride. This nitrogen gas charged unit features full displaced valving, which enhances the valving range during both compression and extension cycles, resulting in a more comfortable driving experience. Constructed with a sintered iron piston, it offers superior durability compared to traditional metals, contributing to a longer service life.

Designed specifically for mid to full-size light-duty work trucks and vans, this shock absorber includes a 2 inch reserve tube that allows for greater oil capacity and improved heat dissipation. The 1-3/8 inch bore operates at lower pressure than standard units, making it more efficient and capable of handling up to twice the fluid capacity of conventional shocks. Additionally, the heavy-duty 5/8 inch piston rod is nitrocarburized for enhanced longevity.

The Monroe Shock Absorber is equipped with a special self-lubricating fluid seal that retains gas without excessive wear or friction, ensuring consistent performance over time. With its robust construction and advanced features, this shock absorber is a reliable choice for maintaining optimal tire-to-road contact and overall vehicle handling.
