Once a shock goes weak or starts leaking, the axle keeps moving after the road stops asking it to: the cab bounces, the tread cups and roars, and the mounts and bushings on that corner soak up abuse that should have died inside the shock. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRide Control Restored: The Gabriel 85724 Advantage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis unit is built with a \u003cstrong\u003edust tube\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003erecoil cutoff\u003c\/strong\u003e. The dust tube shields the piston rod from grit, road salt and spray, protecting the one surface that has to stay clean for the seal to hold. Recoil cutoff takes the harshness out of the end of the rebound stroke so the axle settles instead of springing back into the next bump.
