Auger 20252 Shock Absorber Cab

Description

This Auger shock absorber cab is a critical component for maintaining stability and comfort in vehicles. It's used within the cabin tilt mechanism to dampen vibrations and control movement. This design significantly improves ride quality and extends the lifespan of surrounding components. It is manufactured in China and carries MPN 20252.

Key Features & Benefits

This shock absorber basically controls the speed at which the cab tilts forward. It’s a hydraulic damper, so it uses fluid resistance to slow things down and prevent the cab from just jumping up or slamming down. It smooths out the movement. It also keeps the cab locked securely in both the up and down positions. It's a key part of the cabin tilt mechanism, which allows access to the engine and other components under the hood. When you need to do engine work, you release the locking mechanism and this shock controls how quickly and smoothly the cab lifts. It works with other parts like the locking arm and the tilt mechanism itself to make that process safe and manageable.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

It’s really important for safety and ease of maintenance. Without a working shock, the cab could come down suddenly, which is obviously dangerous. It also puts a lot of stress on the other parts of the tilt mechanism. You’ll notice if this shock is failing because the cab will either move too quickly or feel unstable during tilting. It’s one of those things that doesn't get a lot of attention until it does go bad, then it’s a pretty big deal. We stock these at Fixparts Online, and it's usually a straightforward repair if you’re comfortable with a little mechanical work.
