Product Details

MaxControl™ Premium Monotube Shock Absorber by Gabriel®. On paper or pavement, you won't find a more comfortable shock than the Gabriel® MaxControl™ v2.0. Equipped with best-in-class technology, MaxControl monotube shock is the only choice for those who demand nothing but the very best for their SUV or truck.

Gabriel's most advanced shock absorber and winner of the prestigious 2010 North American Product Differentiation Excellence of the Year Award from Frost & Sullivan, MaxControl shocks go above and beyond other shocks for response, performance, durability, control and reliability. Gabriel's advanced monotube technology and rod guide bearing system create unmatched reaction time to bumps and other road imperfections. A larger 1 13/16" (46mm) bore size also increases strut pressure absorption, resulting in greater damping efficiency, quicker response, and the smoothest and safest ride possible.

And like all Gabriel shocks and struts, MaxControl shocks feature a super-finished chromed piston rod to inhibit corrosion, ensure proper seal lubrication and provide a more consistent wear surface. The result is a rugged, durable and longer-lasting product. It’s the kind of thoroughness and high-quality standards you’ll only get from the company that created the original shock absorber more than a century ago – the Original Gabriel.

Better Than Air Ride?

Quoted $1500 for air ride to fix my sag when fully packed out. Came across these for 10% the price and they actually work extremely well! If you’re on the fence; jump the fence and buy these! You won’t regret it.

Good Shock With Versatility.

Nice handling shock. Very helpful to be able to adjust the load handling and/or ride height. I installed the airline's filler fitting in the rear hatch's covered space, just above the left taillight where it's convenient. However, one big bump (with about 40# PSI in the shocks) caused the airline to blow a hole. It was repairable, but perhaps using larger/tougher air lines is advisable.

Great Replacement Quick Struts but......

Ordered set for the front end of a 2010 Volkswagen golf. Installation was fairly straightforward with no issues, HOWEVER, even after two weeks of driving on the new struts, the car sits approximately an inch and a half higher than the old shocks. I understand that the old shock were almost 10 years old and that that new shocks would likely sit a bit higher, perhaps a half inch or so. But not an inch and a half. Would have given more stars if not for this issue.

Worked Great for Me

The product was a perfect fit, and at a price I most certainly appreciated on my 22 yr old car. They came nicely packaged. When I get ready to do the front I'll probably buy Gabriel for the front too.

Good Stock Replacement, Good Price.

Bought these to replace my Fiesta shocks that had 83K miles on them and were found to be leaking fluid. 0 instructions came with these, but after a quick YouTube search to see what we were up against, installing them was pretty simple. Hardest part was having dirt fall on you from under the wheel well. These feel a little stronger and more professional than the originals did. Time will tell how they hold up. No significant advantage over stock as far as performance, due to being in the rear of the vehicle and me not driving hard. On the plus, theyre not quite as rigid as the originals were when they were new.
