My thanks to Marty on the Yahoo Flxible bbs for this link:

http://www.meritorhvs.com/lodsearch_i.aspx

After it comes up, type in SP0600 in the search box in the middle of the page, then follow the link to download the document in .pdf format. It's about 14Mg, so it will take a little while, depending on your internet connection.

OK, so what is this? It's the Gabriel Shock Absorber catalog for heavy duty equipment. Lists not only by make/model, but has cross-over references from the OEM number, too. Now you can head down to your friendly parts source armed with the correct number for your coach, be it front, rear or tags.

What a shock, eh?

FWIW & HTH. . .

NAPA has the listings in the Monroe master or commercial vehicle catalog. Big rig shocks are surprisingly cheap and everyone should change out their old ones when working under there.

So how do you know if you need shocks?
Take a drive and then slide under your bus and feel the lower body of the shock...if it is hot then it's working. If it is cold or wet/damp as if leaking, it is shot.

Or, if they are old and rusty, and you don't know their age, change them out!!!

Preventive maintenance means prevention. Know the age of the consumables, otherwise, change them out.

Replace parts before they fail.

happy coaching!
