Gabriel 61696 ProGuard Shock Absorber for Light Trucks, Vans and SUVs

The Gabriel 61696 ProGuard is a premium replacement shock absorber engineered for comfort and control on today's light trucks, vans, and SUVs. Designed to deliver better-than-OE response and performance, the ProGuard features a larger-diameter piston paired with increased oil capacity for superior heat dissipation — helping maintain consistent damping control mile after mile.

A larger reservoir tube significantly reduces shock fade, allowing faster heat dissipation for better cooling and helping prevent cavitation — whether navigating stop-and-go city traffic or tackling demanding off-road terrain.

Key Features:

• Larger diameter piston delivers better-than-OE response, sportier handling, and a smoother ride
• Increased oil capacity with larger reservoir tube for superior heat dissipation and fade resistance
• Super-finished chromed piston rod for superior corrosion resistance and extended product life
• Leak-proof piston seal for long-lasting, reliable performance
• Extended length: 22.45 inches
• Collapsed length: 14.50 inches
• Stroke: 7.95 inches
• Upper mount: BP18 | Lower mount: ES26

Backed by over 100 years of Gabriel engineering expertise, the ProGuard shock absorber is validated to meet precise fit, ride, and durability standards — making it a trusted direct-replacement upgrade for worn OEM shocks.
