Product Details
Monroe Max-Air Air Shock Absorber MA819 is part of the Max-Air Air Shock Absorber line, a Monroe suspension solution for vehicles that need adjustable rear support without changing the basic shock absorber layout. This part number is used on rear applications including 1982-1996 Chevrolet Caprice, 1992-1996 Buick Roadmaster, 1992-1996 Cadillac Commercial Chassis, 1993-1996 Cadillac Fleetwood, and 1991-1992 Cadillac Brougham. This part cross-references Continental 49131 and Wix 49152 for the same application.
Common Uses
- Rear sag after carrying passengers or cargo
- Loss of ride height during towing and hauling
- Need for adjustable rear suspension support on Buick Roadmaster and Chevrolet Caprice applications
- Uneven stance caused by added load in the trunk or rear compartment
- Replacement for worn rear air shock absorbers on compatible Cadillac and Chevrolet platforms
Installation Notes
Review the vehicle owner’s manual before setting air pressure or load limits. Some applications require an air line kit to replace a single fill system or to add separate left and right fill control, and vehicles with rear air leveling systems may require an adapter kit. Confirm upper and lower mounting codes, compressed length, and extended length before installation on the specific rear application.
Quality Assurance
Monroe designs the Max-Air line for adjustable suspension support in rear shock applications. MA819 is built with a rubber dust shield and integrated bumper stops to support everyday suspension use in load-carrying conditions.
