Description
Our shock absorber is a direct OEM replacement for part number 83048 and is compatible with Freightliner, Mack models. Our suspension shock has an upper ES86 and lower ES167 mounting system, with an extended length of 10″, 8-7/16″ collapsed length, and a 2-3/8″ stroke length. The shock includes a dust tube for enhanced durability and a recoil cutoff for additional safety and control. This shock absorber from our store can control the movement of the suspension springs, and maintain tire contact with the road to ensure vehicle stability, smooth operation, and even tire wear. It plays a critical role in braking performance, the comfort of the operator, and the overall lifespan of suspension and related components.
- Double Lip Oil Seal Design: The precision-controlled Nitrile double lip seal of the shock provides superior leakage protection. The cushion below the guider further prevents direct piston strikes, which enhances the product's longevity.
- Proprietary Valve System: The patented valve system uses a two-way structure, which provides enhanced damping force control and stability. This system also improves oil sealing and ensures a longer product lifespan under high-impact conditions.
- Material: The shock absorber is manufactured with high-quality steel using precision metal stamping. The cross-sectional wall thickness is optimized for maximum strength, which ensures stability in all working environments. A 42-step manufacturing process produces a microcrack-free, chrome-plated piston rod with a hardness rating of 45-55 HRC, making it highly resistant to corrosion.
Compatibility
This shock absorber can fit with a wide range of Freightliner, and Mack truck models. It is a direct replacement for OEM part number 83048. It ensures a perfect fit with OEM parts and contributes to smooth suspension operation, improving the overall driving experience.

Easy Installation
For proper installation, ensure that the vehicle is on a flat, stable surface. Follow manufacturer guidelines to torque mounting bolts to the recommended specification. Be sure to inspect and replace any worn bushings or mounting hardware to prevent misalignment, which can reduce the lifespan of the shock absorber.
When to Replace Your Vehicle’s Shock Absorbers
- Uneven tire wear or cupping on tires can be a sign of suspension issues.
- Noticeable reduction in ride comfort, such as excessive bouncing or harshness over bumps.
- Fluid leaks around the shock body, indicating a failing seal.
- Increased braking distance or poor handling, especially during turns.
- Visible damage or rust on the shock absorber, particularly on the piston rod or mounts.
Why Choose This Product
- The high-precision metal stamping, chrome-plated piston rod, and carbon fiber wear ring provide exceptional wear and impact resistance, which ensures its long-lasting performance.
- The proprietary valve system with two-way damping force control offers better handling, stability, and comfort compared to standard single-valve systems.
- The precision-engineered double lip oil seal ensures reliable sealing, reducing the risk of fluid leakage, even under high-pressure conditions.
- Designed as a direct replacement for Freightliner, Gabriel, and Mack OEM parts.
- Features like the dust tube and hydraulic extension stop prevent damage from debris and overextension, ensuring longer component life.
