ACDelco Specialty Premium Monotube Shocks are designed to meet the demands of sport utility vehicles, 4x4s and light-duty trucks, which require greater control, handling, safety, and performance. These premium shocks feature consistent damping and rapid response characteristics, large chromed piston rods, high pressure nitrogen gas up to 275 psi, and a single tube design. Additionally, ACDelco Specialty Premium Monotube Shocks utilize floating piston technology that completely separates the oil from the nitrogen gas, producing extremely consistent operational control due to aeration elimination, and superior heat dissipation. ⚠ WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm - https://www.P65Warnings.ca.gov

Features and Benefits:

  • 14mm super finished, hardened, chromed piston rod for anti-corrosion support and a consistent wear surface
  • Fit and ride tested to ensure that the shocks will fit intended vehicles and applications
  • Greater heat dissipation, improved cooling, and reduction in fade, compared to conventional twin tube shocks
  • Large internal working area helps reduce stress and fatigue for component durability
  • Larger 1-13/16 inch (46mm) bore size allows the shock to react quickly to bumps and other road imperfections
  • Monotube technology and rod guide bearing system offer outstanding response for controlled handling
  • Single tube and multi-stage sealing design minimizes chamber temperature and debris entry for longer lasting performance

  • To inspect your shocks and struts to gauge wear, check for:
  • Your vehicle's shocks and struts slowly deteriorate over time, though this wear is normally difficult to detect. To maximize your vehicle's ride comfort and safety, it is recommended to replace your vehicle's shocks and struts every 50,000 miles. Worn shocks and struts can also cause additional wear to other vehicle components. Affected components include:
