SOUTHFIELD, Mich., June 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Rancho®,
a leading brand of performance suspension and shock products
from Tenneco's DRiV group, has recently introduced a new monotube
shock offering, the RS7MT™. The RS7MT is now available for
select Jeep applications and is engineered for precision on- or
off-road handling.
Each RS7MT shock features an integrated dirt wiper sealing
system that helps keep moisture, dirt and other debris from
contaminating the shock, and a hardened piston rod that resists
scuffs and corrosion. Its large two-inch monotube body
filled with all-weather fluid allows for cooler operation,
increased vehicle control, and ability to withstand internal
temperatures of -40 to 248° Fahrenheit, which makes them ideal for
larger wheel and tire packages. A full-floating dividing
piston and high-pressure nitrogen gas maintain constant pressure
against the hydraulic oil, reducing aeration and shock
fade. To smooth out the ride, the RS7MT features an internal
rebound bumper, while shouldered rubber bushings help reduce noise,
vibration and ride harshness.
This newest offering from Rancho also features an eye-catching
design that, like other Rancho products, is designed to fit right
out of the box, with application-specific mounting and no need for
installing sleeves or other extra hardware. Each RS7MT shock
also comes with Rancho's Limited Lifetime Warranty and 90-day
Performance Guarantee.
"This was truly a global effort to bring this latest monotube
shock from design to manufacture by our teams in North America and Europe," said Martha
Remski, business line leader, shocks and struts,
North America. "We are very
excited that, not only did the teams come together to develop a new
product, but they were able to produce a shock offering that meets
the tough demands of today's off-road enthusiasts."
"We have been regularly testing these shocks since last year,
and I can say unequivocally that they perform as good as they
look," added Michael Sype, brand
manager, Rancho. "Any truck or SUV driver that is looking for
a suspension performance upgrade for their vehicle needs to check
out the RS7MT to tackle both on- and off-road trails with precision
handling and performance."
Designed by a global team of engineers, the RS7MT is
manufactured at Tenneco's Gliwice, Poland, facility and is currently available
for select Jeep applications. More part numbers, including
for ¾-ton and ½-ton Chevrolet, Ford and Toyota trucks, will be
released later this year.
