1998 Freightliner MT45 Suspension Parts

Firestone heavy duty Ride Rite air helper springs are the workhorse of our air helper spring line. The double convoluted air springs offer maximum load support as well as years of worry free service. Ride Rite air helper springs can be installed on most light trucks, motor homes, RVs, SUVs and vans. Ride Rite air helper springs are installed between the frame of the vehicle and the suspension, providing load support through the use of air pressure. Firestone is committed to providing the customer with premium air helper spring kits. Ride Rite air helper springs have become synonymous with quality, durability, and customer support. Each application is specifically designed to maximize the safe load carrying capacity, stability, and ride quality of the vehicle. Ride Rite air helper springs utilize a pair of convoluted air springs which can be adjusted for changing loads. These air springs are capable of 3200 to 5000 Pounds of load leveling capacity. Ride Rite air helper springs enhance the ride by reducing inter leaf friction. Please remember that air springs do not increase the Load Carrying capacity of your vehicle. Ride Rite kits are application specific and are designed for hassle free fitment to the OEM suspension.

The Monroe® Magnum shock absorber for class 3-6 Vehicles is gas-charged for quicker response and a stable, more comfortable ride. Replacing worn-out units with hard-working Magnum shocks can help reduce excessive vibration. The result can be better tire l

Product Features:

• Robust hydraulic lock-out Prevents over-extension of the suspension, top-out of the piston and averts damage to the seal assembly – on most applications
• PTFE coated bearing Reduces friction during operation between the rod and rod guide, improving durability – on most applications
• Tenneco shouldered bushings Shouldered bushing and bonded bushing with sleeve designs prevent (bushing walkout) for improved quality and durability – on most applications
• Nitrogen gas-charged For improved ride and handling, helps maintain tire to road contact by reducing aeration – on most applications
• Loop welding technique Resistance weld with additional 360-degree weld provide up to 13,100 lbs. (6,395 kg) tensile strength for maximum durability – when required
• 2-inch (50.8 mm) or 2-1/4-inch (57.2 mm) reserve tube More fluid for more consistent performance – when required
• 1-3/8-inch (35 mm) bore Larger bore than most shocks to provide more efficient and consistent control – on most applications
• .05-inch Pressure tube withstanding pressure of 9KPSI
• 10-stage valving Reacts to wide range of driving conditions – on most applications
• 10-stage valving: Reacts to wide range of driving conditions – on most applications
• All weather fluid: Contains special modifiers to reduce frictions and ensure smooth rod reaction
