Additional Information

This shock absorber from Mytee Products is a direct replacement for OEM part number 85978, compatible with Gabriel, Hendrickson, Mack, Meritor, and Pai Industries. It is designed to enhance the performance and durability of various heavy-duty trucks, particularly those operating under rigorous conditions. This suspension shock absorber from our store is engineered for Mack models, as well as Volvo and Hendrickson Series Rear Suspension Models. This shock absorber controls suspension movement and helps to maintain vehicle stability, ride comfort, and handling. Its 11-13/16" stroke, along with a 1-5/8" bore, ensures the ability to manage extended cycles of compression and rebound, resulting in smoother rides even on uneven surfaces. The recoil cutoff feature protects against overextension, while the included dust tube shields the component from debris, enhancing its longevity.

  • Heavy-Duty Durability: Our shock absorber comes with an external diameter Illustration G and is designed with an ES179 eye ring & bushing with sleeve mount. This heavy-duty truck shock offers long-lasting resilience. The dust tube further prolongs the lifespan by preventing contaminants from damaging the internal components.
  • Performance Optimization: With a rebound rating of 584 lbs and a compression of 138 lbs, it efficiently absorbs shocks from rough terrains, reducing vibrations and promoting better vehicle handling. Its recoil cutoff prevents excessive wear by controlling overextension during heavy impacts.
  • Lower Mount: ES179
  • Mounting Description: Eye Ring & Bushing w/ Sleeve Mounts
  • External Diameter Illustration: G
  • Dust Tube: Yes
  • Recoil Cutoff: Yes

Compatibility
