Gas-Magnum Shock Absorber

from

$64.99
Designed for midsize and full-size trucks and vans, Monroe® Gas-Magnum® shock absorbers provide firm control without a harsh ride. With up to twice the fluid capacity of standard 1-in. bore shocks, they work more efficiently with less effort.

Product Features:
  • DESIGNED FOR TRUCKS AND VANS — Engineered for hardworking full-size trucks and vans and features full-displaced valving on compression cycles to deliver controlled ride and handling
  • BUILT TO LAST — Heavy-duty nitrocarburized rod (non-dust shield units only) and sintered iron piston enhance durability for longer service life while self-lubricating fluid seal reduces friction against piston rod to reduce wear
  • CONSISTENT RIDE — OE all-weather fluid contains special modifiers to handle extreme temperatures and help reduce friction and ensure smooth rod reaction
  • IMPROVES PERFORMANCE — Nitrogen gas-charge maintains tire-to-road contact for improved ride and handling by reducing aeration and shock fade
  • LONGER SERVICE LIFE — Larger bore and bigger 2-in. reserve tube work together to hold more oil for greater capacity to allow the shock to work efficiently for controlled ride and longer service life
  • Nitrogen Gas Charged: For improved ride and handling, helps maintain tire to road contact by reducing aeration – on most applications
  • Sintered Iron Piston: Stronger than traditional metals, enhances durability for longer service life.
  • Special Seal: ‘Self-lubricating’ fluid seal designed to retain gas without excessive wear or friction.
