Gabriel Western Star 4800/5800 Shock - 89442

Shocks are an important component of a truck's suspension system. They take the "beating" from road instabilities and keep vehicles grounded. Driving with bad shocks can be uncomfortable for drivers and create unpredictable accidents during the long-haul trip.

This blue Gabriel shock absorber is part of the GasSLX series. It is designed to fit Western Star 4800/5800 and 4900/ 5900 Series vehicles. Its unique gas cell design reduces fade and increases ride comfort and offers three adjustable settings: regular, firm and extra firm to deliver customizable comfort and suit ride controls. Additionally, this GasSLX shock has a robust multi-lip seal for greater fluid retention and high-temperature performance. It contains a dust tube but not a recoil cutoff. It is important to note that for the GasSLX Series, forces are at the "Firm" (F) Setting. This shock has a rebound of 1055 pounds and compression of 224 pounds. It contains a 1-5/8 inch bore size and a stroke measurement of 9 inches. Lastly, it has compressed to extended length measurements of 15.55 inches to 24.55 inches.

Gabriel Fleetline shocks come with a 12 month or 100,000 mile warranty.

In 1907, Gabriel invented the original automotive shock absorber; and they continue to be one of the most trusted names in the industry for quality shocks.
