Suspension Shock Absorber Fits Kenworth, Meritor, Gabriel Replaces 85031

This shock absorber is a direct replacement for OEM part number 85031, designed to fit trucks equipped with Kenworth, Freightliner, Meritor, and Gabriel suspensions. It features durable construction with a steel dust tube for added protection. This component offers reliable damping performance, ensuring smooth ride quality and improved vehicle control, especially in heavy-duty and industrial trucking environments.

The primary function of this shock absorber is to dampen the vibrations and shocks experienced by the vehicle's suspension, particularly when traversing uneven road surfaces. By managing rebound and compression forces (941 lbs and 257 lbs, respectively), it enhances tire contact with the road, providing better handling and increased vehicle stability. Its robust design helps reduce wear on other suspension components while delivering a smoother ride for the driver and cargo.

Durable Steel Dust Tube
The shock absorber comes with a sturdy steel dust tube that shields the internal components from dirt, debris, and environmental contaminants. This ensures the longevity and performance of the shock absorber, even in harsh conditions.

Rebound and Compression Rates
With a rebound force of 941 lbs and a compression force of 257 lbs, this shock absorber provides optimal damping performance. It ensures controlled suspension movement, reducing the impact of road irregularities and promoting a stable and comfortable ride.
