Front Shock Absorber Assembly
SAF-Holland

In heavy-duty trucking applications the front end damping component provides controlled energy absorption and rebound for the vehicle suspension. It converts road input into a damped motion that keeps front wheels in contact with irregular surfaces, protecting ride quality and steering response under load. The design supports high shock loads, enabling consistent tire contact, stable braking and reduced chassis flex. By controlling spring oscillation it minimizes occupant motion and reduces component fatigue in long haul service. The VMRS code 016-003-001 identifies this piece as a front shock absorber assembly within the VMRS framework, guiding procurement and repair documentation. For fleet compatibility it shares mounting interfaces and performance expectations with other front dampers in the 42677 suspension family, making it suitable for both highway and rugged conditions. The unit is designed for rapid replacement and easy service access, with standard sealed cylinder and piston rod provisions to resist oil leaks and extend service intervals. In practice technicians select this dampener to restore original handling, maintain even tire wear, and preserve alignment under varying load conditions.
