Product Details
Sterling L8500 1999, Fleetline™ 85 Series Heavy Duty Twin-Tube Non-Adjustable Shock Absorber by Gabriel®. Quantity: 1 per Pack. At Gabriel®, we know not every shock hauls over perfectly paved roads. With our FleetLine™ 85000 series, your fleet will stand up to whatever the road throws at it. That’s because they’re equipped with a larger 1 5/8” bore so you can be confident you’ll always have the durability you need when the going gets tough.
Notes
- It’s recommended to replace shock or strut in pairs (passenger and driver side at the same time).
Features
- Larger 1 5/8” bore supplies improved durability and greater tensile strength for harsher operating conditions
- Bulged design6 provides increased fluid capacity and cooler operation in extreme conditions
- Forged solid steel eye rings and 360? arc-welded end mounts deliver tough tensile strength that reduces end mount failures3
- Best-in-class hydraulic stop provides unparalleled system durability and inhibits shocks from topping out and suspension from over-extending4
- Rugged, self-compensating piston seal for consistent damping ability and reduced fade throughout the shock life
- Super-finished chromed piston rod ensures superior corrosion resistance, unyielding performance and extended product life
- Custom-blended high-temperature fluid reduces friction and wear in extreme operating conditions1
- 10-stage valving equips drivers with maximum comfort and control, enhanced durability in harsh operating environments and self-cleaning functionality for longer performance

Not all manufacturers test their assemblies and engineer their products to the same tight tolerances and precision specifications as Gabriel, but in brand believe it’s the right thing to do. You’d expect nothing less from the company that created the original automotive shock absorber in 1907 – and neither do we.
Synonymous with technology-advanced products, Gabriel® is the company of 'firsts' founded by Claud H. Foster with a strong dedication to revolutionize automobile suspension systems. In 1907, Gabriel created one of its most prominent inventions - the original automotive shock absorber, then followed by the first automotive hydraulic shock absorber, adjustable shock absorber and air-adjustable shock absorber. With the same pioneering and independent attitude backed by over 100 years of manufacturing expertise and innovation, Gabriel continues to precision engineer and advance its high-performance shocks and struts as well as fit- and ride-test them to ensure that you'll get that legendary quality, best-in-class performance and unmatched durability that allows the company stand many miles ahead of the competition. Experience the Gabriel independent spirit with any vehicle on any road.
