Max-Air Air Shock Absorber Product Line Details
The Max-Air Air Shock Absorber line by Monroe focuses on air suspension components designed to restore and maintain proper ride height and damping characteristics. This product line integrates features such as extended and compressed bumper stops and durable dust shields to enhance shock absorber longevity and performance under varying load conditions.
Detailed Product Description
The Monroe Max-Air Air Shock Absorber MA819 is specifically designed for use in Buick Brougham, Cadillac Fleetwood, Chevrolet Caprice, Roadmaster, and Commercial Chassis models. It features a compressed length of 13.375 inches and an extended length of 21.25 inches, providing a travel length of 7.875 inches to accommodate suspension movement. The inclusion of both compressed and extended bumper stops helps protect the shock absorber from damage during full compression or extension. A rubber dust shield safeguards the internal components from dirt and debris, contributing to longer service life. The upper mounting uses a cross pin mount with a closed end and a 5/16" hole ID on both ends, while the lower mounting is coded L1/cp3, ensuring proper fitment and secure installation.
