Detailed Description

Monroe Magnum RV shocks are engineered for larger recreational vehicles that need stable damping over uneven pavement, expansion joints, and highway undulations. The gas charge helps maintain consistent shock response, while the full displaced valving works to reduce excess body motion that can contribute to bounce and wander. The extended hydraulic lockout adds another layer of control at full extension, and the included dust shield helps protect the shaft area from road debris.

This Monroe Magnum RV Shock Absorber 555047 uses loop bushing and sleeve mounts at both ends, with LS86 upper and lower mount codes. It measures 22.28 inches extended and 14.49 inches compressed, making it important to verify suspension travel and mount style before ordering. For buyers comparing Monroe Magnum RV shock absorber 555047 options, these dimensions and mount details are key fitment checks.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 316476, 1013976000) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bounce after bumps or dips
• Steering wander on RV highway travel
• Trailer motion feedback transferred to the tow vehicle
• Unstable ride feel over uneven road surfaces
• Suspension control loss from worn shock absorbers

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm upper and lower loop mount style, sleeve dimensions, and shock length before installation. Compare the compressed and extended measurements to the vehicle’s suspension travel to avoid topping out or bottoming out. Because mounting hardware is not listed as included, verify whether existing hardware can be reused or whether replacement components are needed for your application.
