Product Details

The Gabriel 81913 Guardian is a nitrogen gas-charged shock absorber engineered to deliver high-quality ride comfort and consistent damping performance at a value price for light vehicles. Designed as a direct OE replacement, the Guardian restores handling confidence and stability without the premium price tag.

Key Features:

  • 9-Stage Valving: Application-specific tuning provides precise damping control matched to your vehicle's suspension requirements
  • High-Pressure Nitrogen Gas Charge: Resists compression and aids rebound to maintain constant tire-to-road contact, while reducing fluid foaming that can cause damping fade
  • Super-Finished Chromed Piston Rod: Delivers superior corrosion resistance and leak-proof sealing for extended service life
  • OE-Equivalent Fit: Aftermarket-engineered to match original equipment specifications for a straightforward, no-compromise installation
  • Twin-Tube Construction: Provides stable, consistent performance under a wide range of road and load conditions

Specifications:

  • Extended Length: 28.39 in.
  • Collapsed Length: 16.28 in.
  • Stroke: 12.11 in.
  • Upper Mount Code: S12
  • Lower Mount Code: ES171

Backed by Gabriel's 36-Month / 36,000-Mile Limited Warranty, the 81913 Guardian is a dependable, cost-effective solution for restoring smooth, controlled ride quality to your light truck or SUV.

I got the wrong part and the phone number doesn't work

i like it

A dealership broke one of the parts of a rim I have on a car and needed a part in a pinch! Price was great and shipping was incredibly fast! Really happy with the selection and listing such a specific part, other sites just listed part numbers without pictures so THmotorsports made it easy to trust.

Quick and easy to order, fast shipping sealed the deal

You had exactly what I was looking for and the delivery was very fast post purchase. Thank you!

Easy. Simple. Easy to navigate and check out.

Product shipped from Norfolk VA, which was very convenient to me in NC. Arrived in a few days from ordering.
