RoadKing Shocks 3-inch shock absorber built specifically for 45-foot bus conversion and motorhome applications. RoadKing Shocks recently introduced a 3-inch shock absorber built specifically for 45-foot bus conversion and motorhome applications.

 Shock Absorbers

Forty-five-foot coaches have independent front suspension systems in which the shock absorber is mounted inboard on the A arm, putting a two-to-one leverage on the shock. This causes the shock to travel ½-inch when the tire is traveling 1 inch up and down. To compensate for this movement, the shock is required to make four times the force. According to company literature, the new RoadKing 3-inch shock has the widest range of self-adjustment control ever developed for large bus and coach conversions and is designed to last for the life of the coach.

RoadKing 3-inch shocks have a retail price of $900 per pair.
