The Gabriel 85052 is a heavy-duty FleetLine shock absorber designed for commercial trucks and trailers. It dampens suspension movement to maintain tire contact and ride control, reducing wear on other suspension components. A worn or leaking shock can cause a bouncy, unstable ride; this shock is a direct replacement when the OEM unit is due for replacement. Its 1-5/8-inch bore, hydraulic rebound stop, and 10-stage valving provide durability and consistent performance on harsh roads.
