Product Description

Shock Absorber

Features & Benefits

• Shock body houses the internal damping components used during suspension travel
• Piston rod extends outward to connect the unit to its mounting points
• Protective exterior coating helps shield the surface from road exposure
• Mounting ends correspond to the attachment locations in the suspension system
• Internal fluid chamber provides resistance through compression and rebound movement

Meritor Suspension Shock Absorber

Between the suspension mounting points, the Meritor Suspension Shock Absorber controls motion by resisting the up-and-down travel that follows bumps, dips, and shifting road inputs. Its job is to moderate how quickly the suspension settles after movement, which helps support a steadier ride feel across longer distances and changing surfaces. In heavy-duty applications, that damping function matters because the suspension sees repeated cycling under load, and the shock absorber is one of the key components responsible for managing that activity. When the original unit no longer handles motion the way it should, replacing it restores that damping role at the connection point. The Meritor M85734 is the shock absorber used in that suspension position.
