Product Description

FleetLine Heavy Duty Shock Absorber

Features & Benefits

• Eye ring design helps distribute force during irregular terrain impacts
• Bore size improves hydraulic control under sudden load changes
• Shock oil reduces performance loss during high-temperature operation
• Anti-corrosion treatment prolongs service life in moisture-prone environments

FleetLineTM Shocks – Commercial Truck and Trailer Shocks (83000 series) - Designed as a direct replacement for the original equipment shock, FleetLine™ shock absorbers by Gabriel® provide a valving rate that compensates for initial truck suspension softening, providing performance that better matches the original ride. Built with original equipment quality components and 10 stage valving to ensure superior performance throughout the life of the shock, it also reduces wear and tear on other costly suspension and vehicle parts. And like all Gabriel shocks and struts, FleetLine shocks feature a super-finished chrome piston rod for superior corrosion resistance and a leak-proof piston seal which extends product life. Unique pressurized piston seal design reduces force-velocity variabilities and self compensates for wear. A hydraulic rebound stop, where required, prevents shocks from topping out and suspensions from overextending

Gabriel Suspension Shock Absorber 

The Gabriel Suspension Shock Absorber is made for Class 3–6 vehicles operating in tough conditions. Instead of a lightweight layout, this shock uses a 1 3/8-inch bore that enables a more stable hydraulic response when the chassis encounters abrupt compression. Its solid steel eye rings and 360° arc-welded end mounts increase structural durability by reducing the chance of mount failure during repetitive impact cycles. A chromed piston rod helps the seals maintain smooth movement while resisting corrosion brought on by water, salt, or debris. The self-compensating piston seal adjusts naturally as the shock wears, preserving damping consistency over time. Paired with anti-corrosion end mounts and shock oil formulated to limit fade, the Gabriel 83163 delivers controlled motion throughout extensive work shifts.
