Product Description

FleetLine Heavy Duty Shock Absorber

Features & Benefits

• Housing design moderates heat retention during long mid-grade climbs
• Piston movement remains predictable as axle forces fluctuate under cargo weight
• Structural composition counters deformation when trailers encounter abrupt surface drops
• Damping profile reduces vibration transfer to the chassis under uneven road conditions

FleetLineTM Shocks – Commercial Truck and Trailer Shocks (85000 series) - Added durability makes the Fleetline™ 85000 series the standard heavy duty product for today’s low friction suspension. 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. Cold formed, 360 degree arc-welded eye-ring and mounts and a 1 5/8” bore provide improved durability. A hydraulic rebound stop, where required, prevents shocks from topping out and suspensions from overextending

Gabriel Suspension Shock Absorber

The Gabriel Suspension Shock Absorber performs effectively on equipment paired with Arvin Meritor or Hendrickson suspension systems. Its piston rod receives a damage-resistant finish that keeps the sliding surface clean while preserving lubrication behavior. Rust-inhibiting mount components extend service life where road salt, moisture, and airborne contaminants are consistent challenges. The seal configuration helps contain internal fluid during long-term mechanical cycles, allowing the damping profile to remain stable even in temperature extremes. Specialized oil formulation helps reduce fade when the shock experiences continuous cycling during long hauls. The Gabriel 85323 is a tool that brings consistent damping characteristics to commercial axles.
