The Dobinsons GS97-560 is a heavy-duty twin-tube gas shock absorber engineered specifically for the demanding conditions of off-road camper trailers and caravans. It utilizes a low-pressure nitrogen gas charge to effectively reduce oil aeration and prevent shock fade, ensuring consistent performance even under strenuous use. This shock absorber boasts a superior design with thicker walls and extended travel, providing robust durability and enhanced damping capabilities. Built with premium materials for longevity and optimal function, the GS97-560 incorporates Japanese NOK Multi-Lip seals, renowned for their reliability. It is filled with Fuchs German shock absorber oil, a high-performance fluid ensuring smooth operation across various temperatures. The inclusion of natural rubber bushings contributes to reduced noise and vibration transmission, offering a more comfortable experience. Further enhancing its performance are Teflon piston rings for smooth piston movement and double chrome-hardened rods for superior strength and corrosion resistance. A durable metal shock boot is fitted to protect the piston rod from impacts and debris. Designed to integrate seamlessly with other suspension components, the GS97-560 is matched to complement Dobinsons' complete suspension systems. Its specifications include an extended length of 14.8 inches (377mm), a compressed length of 9.9 inches (253mm), and a travel length of 4.8 inches (124mm), with an 18mm rod diameter.
