Gabriel has announced that it will be releasing its updated FleetLine commercial truck, trailer, and bus shocks and GasSLX shocks at the Heavy Duty Aftermarket Week 2016 conference in January. FleetLine shocks are designed as a direct replacement for commercial OE shocks, and so are built to meet or exceed OE specifications and quality standards, the company said. Features highlighted by the company include:
- A valving rate that compensates for initial truck suspension softening;
- A pressurized piston ring that compensates for wear;
- FleetLine shocks, featuring solid steel eye rings and end mounts, a durable, corrosion-resistant super-finished chromed piston rod, and a caged piston design;
- A gas cell design which creates a physical barrier between gas and the high-temperature fluid to allow it to adapt to diverse road conditions and payloads without fade or reduced damping;
- A multi-lip piston rod seal for greater fluid retention and high-temperature performance;
- A pressurized metal piston ring, 10-stage valving and a super-finished chromed piston rod.
