Gabriel 81496 Details

Gabriel Guardian shock absorbers deliver new car like performance at a value price. The Guardian’s 9-stage valving is tuned specifically for your vehicle’s application and a high-pressure nitrogen gas charge resists compression and aids in rebounding to keep your tires in constant contact with the road.

Gabriel Guardian Shock Features

  • Provides high-quality comfort and stable performance under all operating conditions
  • Engineered to meet or exceed OE specifications
  • Leak-proof piston seal which extends product life
  • Nitrogen gas charged for superior response and consistent control
  • Drawn-Over-Mandrel (D.O.M.) Tubing reduces internal wear for longer product life
  • Super-finished chromed piston rod to inhibit corrosion and provide a more consistent wear surface
