Monroe Part no. for a shock absorber, 8K Dexter

I have a 2006 Mobile Suites with a 8K Dexter axle. The shock mount weld to the frame was bad and the mount broke off. I need to replace the shock. Anyone have a Monroe replacement part number? As a side note, when the shock mount broke, it cut the trailer brake wiring.

  • I did a little research on trailer shocks. The way the shocks are mounted way off vertical, I doubt the shock is doing anything worth while. I'm going to leave the shock off and see if anything changes.

    So do you need just the shock or the mount and chock?
    Monroe shock is 555001


    Thanks. All I need is the shock. I had to cut it off because the lower nut was frozen tight. The upper bracket is still attached to the shock. All I need is a new shock and someone to weld the upper bracket back onto the frame. Sure wish I had a welder. Thanks for the part number. I'll order one from O'Reilles tomorrow.

    Cheaper on amazon
