Monroe Bus and Coach Shocks
Monro-Magnum 7- and 6-series shocks are designed for medium- and heavy-duty bus and coach service, with a firm, controlled ride as their focus. Their construction addresses the demands of high mileage and severe use, but the correct replacement still depends on the particular chassis and shock application.
Working components for ride control
The listed design features include a hardened 7/8-inch-diameter piston rod and a large 1-3/4-inch bore. A multi-lip fluid seal is intended to reduce friction while supporting smooth operation. A nylon piston band helps limit leakage past the piston, and the hydraulic fluid is described as tested for all-weather performance. These details explain the series' heavy-duty construction rather than defining a universal replacement size.
Tube, mounts and rebound control
A heavy-wall pressure tube and resistance- and arc-welded mounts are also among the listed features. Hydraulic rebound lockout is used when required; it should not be assumed to appear on every part. Some listed construction features apply to most applications rather than all. Keep those qualifications attached to the specifications when comparing an individual replacement with the general series description.
Select by chassis, not the coach name alone
Begin with the chassis identification, model year, axle position and existing shock number when available. A bus or coach body designation may not identify the underlying suspension. The Monroe information links provide related heavy-truck series discussions, but broad coverage across the bus and coach market does not make the parts interchangeable. Match the individual component before planning a replacement order for one vehicle or a fleet.

The series description lists a hardened 7/8-inch piston rod and a 1-3/4-inch bore, subject to the application qualifications associated with the range.
Does every unit have hydraulic rebound lockout?
No. Hydraulic rebound lockout is specified when required, not as a feature to assume on every shock.
