Gabriel OE Front Steer Shock Absorber - Freightliner Cascadia P4 12K-13.3K Taper Spring - 10-14193-000 83396 A83396

Put the steering back under control with this OE-grade Gabriel Shock Absorber for Freightliner Cascadia P4 front steer axles, distributed by FleetPro Parts & Tires. The front steer shock is the damper that stops the steer axle from hopping after every seam and pothole, and when it goes weak the truck wanders, the steer tires start to cup and scallop, and the whole cab shakes on rough concrete. On a steer axle that is not just a comfort problem - a bouncing steer tire is a steer tire that is not fully gripping. We stock these heavily right here in our Hanover Park, Illinois warehouse to ensure lightning-fast shipping for fleets, diesel repair shops, and owner-operators nationwide.

Steady Steer Axle: The Cascadia P4 Front Shock Advantage

This is the OE grade Gabriel damper for the Cascadia P4 with 12K-13.3K front steer axles on taper-leaf springs - the exact combination Freightliner specifies. Taper-leaf front springs give a softer initial rate than a multi-leaf pack, which is precisely why the damper matched to them matters: get it wrong and the front end either floats or crashes. Ordering by the Freightliner number rather than by eye is the fastest way to be sure, and this unit covers 10-14193-000, 10-14282-000 and 10-14317-000 in both their hyphenated and unhyphenated forms.

At FleetPro Parts & Tires, we know a steering complaint is usually a suspension part, not a steering part. Change front shocks as a pair so both sides of the steer axle damp the same way. This Gabriel shock is a direct replacement for highly searched industry numbers including Freightliner 10-14193-000, Freightliner 10-14282-000, Freightliner 10-14317-000 and Gabriel 83396.
