Monroe 65106 Suspension Shock Absorber - Front

Heavy-Duty Shock Absorber

The Monroe Magnum Shock Absorber 65106 is built for Class 6-8 suspension systems that need fast response and consistent damping under demanding service. It is a gas-charged, large-bore shock absorber with a metal dust shield and loop bushing mounting at both ends.

Key Features

• Gas-charged design for quick suspension response.
• Large-bore construction for heavy-duty control.
• Metal dust shield helps protect the shock body.
• Loop bushing and sleeve mounts at both ends.
• Engineered for air spring and taper leaf suspensions.

Detailed Description

Monroe Magnum Shock Absorber 65106 is designed for severe-duty truck suspension use where consistent control matters over high mileage and repeated load cycles. The nitrogen gas charge supports fast reaction to suspension movement, while the extra-large piston bore is intended to handle the demands of heavy truck applications. This part number 65106 is a fitment-based replacement for front suspension applications on Blue Bird All American RE, Blue Bird All American FE, and select International heavy-duty models, including International 9300, International 9400, International 9600, and International 9700. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 650106, 503610C2) for the same application.

Common Uses

• Restores damping control when the suspension feels loose or underdamped.
• Helps reduce excessive bounce after bumps or road impacts.
• Addresses uneven ride control in high-mileage heavy truck service.
• Supports stable handling in air spring and taper leaf suspension setups.
• Replaces worn front shock absorbers on compatible heavy-duty vehicles.

Installation Notes

Verify compressed length, extended length, and mounting style before installation. This shock absorber uses loop bushing and sleeve mounts at both ends, with a 3/4-inch sleeve ID and 1.75-inch sleeve OAL. Confirm the OE reference and suspension configuration listed in the fitment notes before ordering.

Quality Assurance

Monroe Magnum shock absorbers are engineered for heavy-duty suspension service with gas-charged response and large-bore damping control. Part number 65106 is built to match the demands of severe-use truck applications.
