Gabriel MaxControl Premium Monotube Shock Absorber

The Gabriel MaxControl Premium Monotube Shock Absorber line is built for drivers who want firmer control and a more comfortable ride from their SUV, light truck or van. These gas-charged monotube shocks (also called MaxControl shocks or monotube gas shocks) use a larger bore size so they react faster to bumps and road imperfections. That gives sharper handling and steadier performance with no fade.

Key Features:

• Monotube design: The single-tube construction and multi-stage sealing keep chamber temperature and debris down. The result is consistent damping and longer-lasting performance.
• High-pressure nitrogen gas charge with floating piston: The shock responds right away to steering input and keeps the tires in contact with the road. This helps braking effectiveness and control.
• Larger bore size: A larger pressure tube lets the shock react more quickly. This gives a smoother, more comfortable ride.
• Rod guide bearing system: Gabriel's monotube technology and rod guide bearing system give quick reaction time to bumps and road imperfections.
• Chromed piston rod: The super-finished chrome rod resists corrosion. It also gives the seal a more consistent wear surface and better lubrication.
• Leak-proof piston seal: The seal is designed to extend product life.
• D.O.M. (Drawn-Over-Mandrel) tubing: This tubing reduces internal wear for a longer service life.

Gabriel MaxControl is the brand's most advanced shock line. It is a good choice for drivers who tow, haul or often drive on uneven roads. For the best balanced ride and handling, replace shocks in pairs, with both the driver and passenger sides done at the same time.
