Detailed Description

Monroe Magnum Shock Absorber 65548 is engineered for heavy truck suspension systems that need stable damping and repeatable control. The nitrogen gas charge supports fast reaction to road inputs, while the large-bore construction is intended to handle the load demands of frequent operation and severe service. This part cross-references Four Seasons 85106 and interchange number 106303 for the same application. Fits 2004-2015 Blue Bird All American FE, front. Fits 2004-2015 Blue Bird All American RE, front.

What It Is Used For

• Restoring damping control when the shock no longer manages suspension movement effectively.
• Reducing excessive bounce or oscillation in heavy-duty suspension systems.
• Addressing uneven ride control caused by worn internal shock components.
• Replacing a shock specified for Hendrickson Softek suspension applications.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the upper and lower loop bushing and sleeve mount dimensions before installation. Confirm the application uses Hendrickson Softek suspension and the listed OE reference before ordering. Match the compressed and extended lengths to the existing shock location to ensure proper suspension travel.
