Severe Service Ride Control products are engineered for emergency, municipal fleet and construction uses. These gas-charged, extra-durable Monroe shock absorbers feature strengthened components for superior stability and ride control in the toughest applications. Durable Severe Service shock absorbers have a larger bore for greater working capacity and arc-welded mounts for higher tensile strength.

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
• Loop welding technique: Provide up to 14,100 lbs. (6,395 kg) tensile strength for maximum durability
• 2-inch (50.8 mm) reserve tube: More fluid for more consistent performance - on most applications
• 1-3/8-inch (35 mm) bore: Larger bore than most shocks to provide more efficient and consistent control - on most applications
• 5/8-inch (16 mm) diameter piston rod: Nitrocarburized design more environmentally friendly, maintaining chrome structural benefits, without affecting durability. Sintered iron design allows for more precise piston dimensions.
• .05-inch pressure tube withstanding pressure of 9KPSI - 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
