Steering Stabilizer Shock Cocked Spring

Steering Stabilizer Shock Cocked Spring

This steering stabilizer shock absorber is a crucial component for maintaining control and reducing vibration in the steering systems of concrete mixer trucks, particularly those equipped with self-steering pusher or tag axles. It dampens oscillations and bump steer, which is especially important with the heavy loads and challenging road conditions these vehicles often face. Replacing a worn or failing steering stabilizer is essential for driver safety, reducing fatigue, and preventing premature wear on other steering components like tie rods and ball joints. This specific model often comes pre-compressed and strapped, a feature sometimes referred to as a 'cocked spring,' to simplify the otherwise difficult installation process on self-steering axles.

Key Features

• Designed for heavy-duty applications such as refuse, construction, and cement mixers.
• Features a multi-lip piston seal for improved fluid retention and longer service life.
• Often comes strapped in a compressed position for easier installation on self-steering axles.
• Equipped with a plastic dust shield to protect the shock and reduce debris buildup.
• All-weather fluid with special additives to perform in extreme temperatures and reduce oil breakdown.
• Arc welds up to 360° for enhanced durability.
