MONROE MAGNUM SEVERE SERVICE STRUTS

Designed to get the job done for hardworking emergency, municipal, fleet and jobsite vehicles, Monroe Magnum Severe Service struts feature enhanced components to handle frequent stops, heavy loads and high miles to meet the demands of high-utilization and severe use vehicles.

Designed to deliver added control and long service life in the toughest environments, get the job done with Magnum Severe Service struts. Struts perform two main jobs: perform a damping function like shock absorbers and provide structural support for the vehicle suspension, support the spring, and hold the tire in an aligned position. As a result, struts affect ride comfort and handling as well as vehicle control, braking, steering, wheel alignment and wear on other suspension components.

USE THE RIGHT TOOLS FOR THE JOB

Installing shocks and struts with the wrong tools can result in unseen damage, several respected tool manufacturers offer installation kits for the job. These kits include specially engineered sockets – called pass-through sockets – that allow technicians to install new shock absorbers and struts without spinning the piston rod or gripping it in a way that causes damage. Most Monroe shock absorbers and struts are designed to allow for removal and installation using such tools.

CAUSES & CONSEQUENCES OF STRUT FAILURE

Like many parts on your vehicle, struts are subject to wear. Causes include damaged bushings, exposure to the elements, loss of oil viscosity and deteriorated components. Driving with worn struts can result in problems ranging from reduced braking efficiency, tire wear, loss of stability and damage to other suspension parts.

IMPORTANCE OF ALIGNMENT

Always perform an alignment anytime replacement shocks, struts or other ride control parts are installed. Camber, toe and caster settings can all be affected by installing new struts. Failure to make sure the vehicle’s alignment is within factory specifications can lead to problems like premature tire wear.

WHEN TO INSPECT STRUTS

Inspecting your struts on a regular basis ensures your vehicle is in proper working order, reduces maintenance costs and avoids unscheduled downtime. Monroe recommends that fleet and emergency vehicles have their struts checked whenever an alignment, tire rotation or multi-point inspection is conducted during a preventative maintenance appointment. An inspection should also be performed whenever there is uneven tire wear or if work is done on the steering, frame or suspension components.
