Gabriel’s improved misting reduction seal for its heavy-duty shock products is designed to extend service life and reduce overall downtime for maintenance. The enhanced seal is now available in the company’s FleetLine commercial truck, trailer, and bus shocks and GasSLX adjustable shocks. Misting occurs when the oil within the shock absorber, critical to ride control performance, slowly leaks out of a seal in the product, coats the outside of the shock absorber, and accumulates dust and debris. This oil escape diminishes shock-absorbing capabilities. With Gabriel’s improved misting-reduction seal technology, oil escape is reduced by up to 70% over time, according to the company.
