Description of πŸš— Monroe Gas-Magnum 34817 Shock Absorber - Enhanced for SEO

DESIGNED FOR TRUCKS AND VANS -- Engineered for hardworking full-size trucks and vans and features full-displaced valving on compression cycles to deliver controlled ride and handling. BUILT TO LAST -- Heavy-duty nitrocarburized rod (non-dust shield units only) and sintered iron piston enhance durability for longer service life while self-lubricating fluid seal reduces friction against piston rod to reduce wear. CONSISTENT RIDE -- OE all-weather fluid contains special modifiers to handle extreme temperatures and help reduce friction and ensure smooth rod reaction. IMPROVES PERFORMANCE -- Nitrogen gas-charge maintains tire-to-road contact for improved ride and handling by reducing aeration and shock fade. LONGER SERVICE LIFE -- Larger bore and bigger 2-in. reserve tube work together to hold more oil for greater capacity to allow the shock to work efficiently for controlled ride and longer service life.

Smooth Ride with the Best Suspension

I recently installed a new shock absorber for my truck and it made a world of difference. The Monroe 34817 Gas Magnum Truck Absorber is a high-quality suspension product that has given my vehicle a smooth ride on rough roads. As a result of my tests, I determined that this shock absorber can handle any automotive challenge with ease. However, the only drawback is that it may be a bit pricey compared to other options in the market. Despite that, I highly recommend Monroe 34817 Gas Magnum Truck…

Pros
  • Improves stability and handling of trucks on the road
Cons
  • Less comfortable ride due to firmer shocks

Long Lead Time Replacement Parts

Ordered two of these for a project. It was supposed to come in two days, but it took five. Eventually they installed one of them and went to get the other one out of the box and there was oil everywhere. The shock absorber was already broken and all the oil had leaked out of the seals. I ordered another one as I already had one installed and it took 5 days to get here. I haven't tried them yet, but I think we'll see if there's anything good about them.

Pros
  • DESIGNED FOR TRUCKS AND VANS -- Designed for full size trucks and vans equipped with full size valves on compression cycles for handling and control
Cons
  • The list goes on.

Shock absorbers, ideal for shock absorbers, struts and suspension

I had these on my old classic Chevy 66 pickup 20 years ago and switched to Gabriels. The Monroe Gas Magnums are way better than the Gabriels and my old truck drives great. Very taut but keeps the rear wheels on the road. Installation was a little tricky as the shocks didn't come with a compression strap. Adjusting the bottom while trying to keep them compressed was difficult. I used a jack to press them together, then held them up and installed them on the lower shocks. I recommend these shocks

Pros
  • FOR LONG LIFE - Heavy duty nitro carbon alloy rod (units without dust cover only) and sintered iron piston increase reliability and extend life, while the self-lubricating fluid seal reduces piston rod friction to minimal wear
Cons
  • Newer model could have been chosen
