Severe Service Shock Absorbers
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.

Robust Hydraulic Lock-Out
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
PTFE Coated Bearing
Reduces friction during operation between the rod and rod guide, improving durability. *On most applications.
Tenneco Shouldered Bushing
Tenneco Shouldered Bushing
Shouldered bushing and bonded bushing with sleeve designs prevent [bushing walkout for] improved quality and durability. *On most applications.
Nitrogen Gas Charged
Nitrogen Gas Charged
For improved ride and handling, helps maintain tire to road contact by reducing aeration.
.05-inch Pressure tube withstanding pressure of 9KPSI
.05-inch Pressure tube withstanding pressure of 9KPSI
Thicker pressure tube provides the ability to handle more severe road conditions. *On most applications.
2-inch (50.8 mm) Reserve Tube
2-inch (50.8 mm) Reserve Tube
More fluid for more consistent performance. *On most applications.
1-3/8-inch (35 mm) Bore
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
5/8-inch (16 mm) Diameter Piston Rod
Nitrocarburized design more environmentally friendly, maintaining chrome structural benefits, without effecting durability or use life of the rod. Sintered iron design allows for more precise piston dimensions, requiring no additional components for exceptional fit. *On most applications.
Loop Welding Technique
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.
10-Stage Valving
10-Stage Valving
Reacts to wide range of driving conditions. *On most applications.
All weather fluid
