This shock absorber features an expanded reserve tube that increases oil capacity, allowing for better heat dissipation compared to original equipment. The improved valving range on both compression and extension cycles ensures a smooth and comfortable ride, making it suitable for mid- to full-size light-duty work trucks and vans.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eConstructed with a nitrogen gas charge, this shock absorber enhances ride quality and handling by maintaining optimal tire-to-road contact while reducing aeration. The all-weather fluid contains special modifiers that minimize friction, ensuring a smooth rod reaction in various conditions. Additionally, the sintered iron piston offers increased durability, providing a long service life under demanding conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWith a 1-3\/8 inch bore and a 5\/8 inch piston rod, the Monroe Gas-Magnum Shock Absorber operates at lower pressures than standard units, contributing to its consistent performance. The monotube internal design and robust steel construction further enhance its reliability, making it a practical choice for those seeking to replace their shock absorbers with a high-quality, OEM-compatible option.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eExpanded Reserve Tube For Greater Oil Capacity To Better Dissipate Heat Compared To OE; Better Valving Range On Both The Compression And Extension Cycles Of The Unit For A Smooth, Comfortable Ride\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eNitrogen Gas-Charged For Improved Ride And Handling, Helps Maintain Tire-To-Road Contact By Reducing Aeration; Designed For Mid- To Full-Size Light-Duty Work Trucks And Vans\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eAll Weather Fluid: Contains Special Modifiers To Reduce Friction And Ensure Smooth Rod Reaction\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eFull Displaced Valving: Better Valving Range On Both The Compression And Extension Cycles Of The Unit For A Smooth Comfortable Ride\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eSintered Iron Piston: Stronger Than Traditional Metals, Enhances Durability For Long Service Life\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eNitrogen Gas Charged: Nitrogen Gas Charged; 2 Inch Reserve Tube: More Fluid For More Consistent Performance\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003e1-3\/8 Inch Bore: Lower Operating Pressure Than Standard 1 Inch Bore Units\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003e5\/8 Inch Piston Rod: Self-Lubricating Fluid Seal Designed To Retain Gas Without Excessive Wear Or Friction\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eManufacturer: Monroe\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eManufacturer Part Number: 65490\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eType: Nitrogen Gas Charged\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eWith Coil Spring: No\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eExtended Length (IN): 22.9 Inch\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eCompressed Length (IN): 15 Inch\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eUpper Mounting Style: Cross Pin\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eLower Mounting Style: Cross Pin\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eAdjustable Valving: No\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eQuantity: Single\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eUniversality: Semi-Universal\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eInternal Design: Monotube\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eBody Color: Yellow\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eRod Diameter (IN): 5\/8 Inch\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eValving Type: OEM\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eRod Material: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eBody Material: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eWith Reservoir: No\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eIncludes Dust Shield: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eIncludes Hardware: No\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eIncludes Boot: No\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eEstimated Install Time (Hours): 0.5\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Documents\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/vehiclepartimages.com\/PMDT\/MON\/TechnicalBulletins\/TITAN%20SAF%205004%20NA%20200.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eTITAN_SAF_5004_NA_200.pdf\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n","brand":"NTP-Stag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47273961717999,"sku":"M4565490","price":239.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1583\/3619\/files\/65490.png?v=1767377862","url":"https:\/\/www.sprinterpartsdepot.com\/products\/monroe-shock-absorber-gas-magnum-65490","provider":"Sprinter Parts Depot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
