Powerdown Shock Absorber for Kenworth - Multi-Leaf Spring [Front]

Powerdown Shock Absorber for Kenworth - Multi-Leaf Spring [Front]

Powerdown P-series Supershock shock absorbers for Kenworth are Australian-engineered specifically for the operating demands of Kenworth trucks on Australian roads. Kenworth runs heavier payloads at higher sustained speeds and over longer distances than the North American market for which Kenworth's OEM shocks are calibrated. Australian Kenworth operators need more from their suspension - and Powerdown engineers from Newcastle have spent 40 years developing exactly that.

The P155 range is designed for Kenworth's parabolic leaf spring front suspension, providing upgraded damping forces that control the higher-horsepower drivetrain inputs and Australian road-load conditions without compromising ride quality on the highway.

• Upgraded damping forces calibrated for Kenworth's parabolic spring front suspension geometry
• Large bore design (41mm, 45mm and 52mm) for superior heat dissipation on long-distance B-double runs
• Viton seals and high-temperature semi-synthetic fluid - maintains damping performance in Australian summer heat
• 360-degree arc-welded end mounts and one-piece eye rings - withstands the cyclical fatigue of heavy-haul operations
• Hydraulic stop / recoil cut-off cushions piston impact at full travel - reduces end mount wear
• DU bush in rod guide minimises friction and side-loading wear for extended service life

Signs your Kenworth front shocks need replacing: Increased nose dive under braking, weave or wander at highway speed, steering shimmy after hitting corrugations, tyre feathering across the steer axle, or oil visible on the shock body. On a working Kenworth, front shocks should be inspected every 200,000km or annually.
