Shock Bracket
SAF-Holland

This shock mounting bracket is a critical support element for damping assemblies used on heavy duty trucking suspensions. By providing a rigid, precisely located anchor point for a shock absorber, it ensures proper angular alignment and consistent reservoir positioning, which translates into predictable damping performance and reduced fatigue on both frame rails and suspension arms. The design is tailored for the NEWAY ADZ Series Truck/Tractor families, reflecting a focus on compatibility with modern multi-axle suspensions where dampers play a central role in ride stability and load transfer. Installation accuracy is aided by standardized hole patterns and mounting surfaces that align with common shock hardware, enabling straightforward service and field replacement. Benefits include improved ride quality, reduced component wear due to controlled motion, and enhanced vehicle handling under heavy loads and varied road surfaces. VMRS code 016-003-018 situates this bracket within the shock and mount group, while a lack of painted finish in some versions emphasizes compatibility with corrosion protection processes already in the assembly. Cross references are minimal, but the component remains a dependable interface between the frame structure and damping units, underscoring its importance in maintaining suspension performance across fleet operations, with category 42649 reflecting its truck and bus suspension focus.
