Gabriel Max Control Shock Absorber

The Gabriel Max Control shock absorber is built for SUV and light truck applications that need responsive damping and consistent control. This Gabriel 77847 is a fitment-specific replacement for select Jeep Grand Cherokee models and uses a monotube design for stable performance.

  • Monotube construction for quick, consistent shock response.
  • Larger bore size helps the shock react faster to road inputs.
  • Gas charged design for controlled ride behavior.
  • Super-finished chromed piston rod for corrosion resistance.
  • Leak-proof piston seal helps extend service life.
  • Boot included for added protection.
  • Installation hardware included.

Fitment Details

Fits 1999-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee, front, excluding Up Country Suspension. This Gabriel 77847 is a direct fit for the listed application and is built for the front suspension of compatible Jeep Grand Cherokee models.

Max Control is Gabriel’s performance-oriented product line for drivers who want firmer control and faster response from a shock absorber without changing the vehicle’s basic suspension layout. The Gabriel 77847 combines that tuning with corrosion-resistant construction and sealed internal components for dependable operation.

What It Helps Solve

  • Excessive bouncing after bumps or dips.
  • Loose or delayed suspension response.
  • Reduced control on rough roads.
  • Wear from moisture and corrosion exposure.
  • Oil leakage from a worn shock absorber.

Installation Notes

Verify collapsed and extended length, along with upper and lower stud mounting type, before installation. Confirm fitment for 1999-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee front applications and exclude vehicles with Up Country Suspension. Use the included hardware only if it matches the vehicle’s mounting requirements.

Quality Assurance

Gabriel Max Control shocks are engineered with a monotube layout, gas charging, and a leak-resistant piston seal to support consistent damping performance. The chromed piston rod adds corrosion resistance for long-term service in demanding suspension environments.
