Monroe® Magnum™ shock absorbers for transit buses deliver a firm, controlled ride for greater stability and increased driver comfort. Designed to meet or exceed demanding OE manufacturer specifications

• Robust hydraulic lock-out: Prevents over-extension of the suspension, top-out of the piston and averts damage to the seal assembly
• PTFE coated bearing: Reduces friction during operation between the rod and rod guide, improving durability
• Shouldered bushings: Shouldered bushing and bonded bushing with sleeve designs prevent bushing walkout for improved quality and durability (on most applications)
• Loop welding technique: Resistance weld with additional 360-degree weld to provide up to 15,000 lbs. (6,804 kg) tensile strength for maximum durability, when required
• 1 3/4" (44.6 mm) Bore: Larger bore gives accessibility to finer tune the valving by allowing more hydraulic fluid to dissipate heat for better vehicle control
• 2 3/4" (69.85 mm) Reserve Tube: More fluid for more consistent performance; when required
• 23/32" (18 mm) Diameter Piston Rod: Nitrocarburized design is more environmentally friendly, maintaining chrome structural benefits, without affecting durability or use life of the rod. Sintered iron design allows for more precise piston dimensions, requiring no additional components for exceptional fit
• .05" Pressure tube withstands pressure of 9KPSI
• All weather fluid: Contains special modifiers to reduce frictions and ensure smooth rod reaction
• 10 Stage Valving: Reacts to wide range of driving conditions (on most applications)
• Single-lip, low-friction oil seal
