Gabriel® delivers the performance and reliability that's trusted by truck and trailer O.E. manufacturers. Gabriel's industry history started in 1907 with the invention of the original automotive shock absorber. It was soon followed by the launching of the world's first hydraulic shock absorber, then by the first adjustable shock absorber as well as the first air adjustable shock absorber. Up to this day, Gabriel is still the same pioneering and independent American company that builds the high-performance shocks and struts that are designed to fit over 96% of North American vehicles. Gabriel remains one of the country's most trusted O.E.M. and aftermarket suppliers for light- medium- and heavy-duty trucks and vehicles.
