The GABRIEL 81870~G8 Heavy Duty Shock Absorber is engineered to enhance the performance and longevity of commercial vehicles operating under demanding conditions. Designed with a larger 1 5/8" bore, this shock absorber offers improved durability and greater tensile strength, effectively managing the stresses encountered in heavy-duty applications. The bulged design increases fluid capacity, promoting cooler operation during extreme conditions, which is crucial for maintaining consistent ride quality and vehicle stability. Solid steel eye rings and 360° arc-welded end mounts provide robust tensile strength, reducing the likelihood of end mount failures and extending the service life of the shock absorber. The chromed piston rod inhibits corrosion, ensures proper seal lubrication, and offers a consistent wear surface, all contributing to the shock absorber's overall reliability. Anti-corrosion end mounts further protect against rust and corrosion, enhancing the component's durability. The durable piston seal design and formulated shock oil deliver exceptional anti-fade performance, ensuring consistent damping force over time. By integrating the GABRIEL 81870~G8 Heavy Duty Shock Absorber into your fleet, you can expect improved ride quality, enhanced vehicle control, and reduced maintenance costs, leading to increased operational efficiency and uptime.
