Gabriel 61716 ProGuard Rear Shock Absorber for Light Trucks and SUVs

The Gabriel ProGuard 61716 is a heavy-duty rear shock absorber engineered to deliver superior comfort and control for light trucks, vans, and SUVs. Designed as a direct OEM replacement, this shock absorber provides a meaningful step up in ride quality and durability over stock components.

Gabriel's ProGuard line features a larger diameter piston that delivers better-than-OE response and performance, along with an increased oil capacity reservoir that improves heat dissipation and helps prevent cavitation — keeping performance consistent whether you're on city streets or tackling off-road terrain.

Key Features:

• Larger diameter piston — delivers better-than-OE damping response and sportier handling
• Super-finished chromed piston rod — inhibits corrosion, ensures proper seal lubrication, and provides a more consistent wear surface
• Leak-proof piston seal — extends product life and maintains consistent performance
• D.O.M. (Drawn-Over-Mandrel) tubing — reduces internal wear for longer service life
• Large oil reservoir — allows faster heat dissipation and prevents shock fade
• Limited Lifetime Warranty — backed by Gabriel's industry-leading coverage

Gabriel is the inventor of the original automotive shock absorber, with over 100 years of engineering expertise in ride control. The ProGuard line is fine-tuned to meet the demands of modern light-duty trucks and SUVs, making the 61716 a reliable, long-lasting replacement for worn rear shocks.
