Replacing it in a timely manner helps maintain proper suspension geometry, prevents costly repairs, and ensures smooth, controlled operation.

It enhances ride comfort, prolongs the lifespan of suspension components, and ensures optimal driving performance, making it a critical part of the suspension system in heavy-duty trucks.

Manufacturer Information:

Dayton’s was a prominent American department store chain founded in 1902 by George Draper Dayton in Minneapolis, Minnesota. For nearly a century, it operated as a premier shopping destination throughout Minnesota and the Upper Midwest, known for its high-end retail experience. Beyond its reputation for quality, Dayton’s is best remembered for launching the discount retail giant Target. The company also played a pivotal role in retail history by opening the first indoor shopping mall in the United States—Southdale Center in Edina, Minnesota, in 1956.

In 1969, Dayton’s merged with Michigan-based Hudson’s to form the Dayton-Hudson Corporation. As Target grew to dominate the business, the corporation rebranded as Target Corporation in 2000. Dayton-Hudson had previously acquired Chicago’s Marshall Field’s in 1990, and by 2001, Dayton’s stores were converted into Marshall Field’s locations. In 2004, May Department Stores purchased Marshall Field’s, and after merging with Macy’s in 2005, the remaining Marshall Field’s stores were rebranded as Macy’s, marking the final chapter in Dayton’s legacy.
