Used Truck Cab & Sleeper Suspension Shocks, Tilt Cylinders & Mounts

Used truck cab & sleeper suspension components

Cab and sleeper suspension systems isolate the driver and bunk from road shocks, vibration and cab movement. On modern European HGVs the cab usually sits on a combination of coil or air springs, shock absorbers and rubber bushes, with additional mountings for the sleeper pod where fitted. Keeping these components in good condition is essential for driver comfort, safety and control.

In this category we offer used OEM cab suspension shocks, air bags and mounting parts removed from complete donor trucks. Typical examples include cab dampers and air springs for DAF XF/CF, MAN TGS/TGX, Volvo FH/FM and Mercedes-Benz Actros, as well as brackets and stabiliser parts that support the cab structure.

What you will find in the Cab & Sleeper Suspension category

Stock in the Cab & Sleeper Suspension category changes as new donor vehicles arrive, but it typically includes:

• cab suspension shock absorbers/dampers for front and rear cab mount points, helping to control cab movement;
• cab suspension air springs / air bags used on air-sprung cabs for improved comfort;
• sleeper pod suspension components where the sleeper section is mounted on separate springs or bushes;
• cab mounting brackets and bushes that secure the cab frame to the chassis and isolate vibration;
• cab stabiliser bars and links that reduce roll and improve cab stability in corners;
• selected cab tilt-related parts such as tilt cylinders or brackets supplied together with cab suspension components, where shown in the photos and description.

Each listing includes clear photos, OE/OEM part numbers where available and donor vehicle details so you can compare mounting style, centre distances, bush sizes and connector types with the cab suspension parts fitted to your own truck.

Truck brands & typical applications

Most cab and sleeper suspension parts in this category are taken from mainstream European heavy trucks, including:

• DAF XF and CF tractors and rigids used in long-haul and distribution work;
• MAN TGS and TGX tractor units and chassis in 4x2, 6x2 and 6x4 configurations;
• Mercedes-Benz Actros, Antos and Arocs with a range of cab and chassis options;
• Volvo FH and FM long-distance and regional haulage vehicles;
• other brands such as Scania, Iveco and Renault Trucks when suitable donor vehicles are available.

Because these are genuine OEM components removed from complete trucks, cab suspension parts can usually be tied to a specific cab type, chassis code and suspension configuration. This helps you match the correct part to your vehicle.

Typical reasons to replace cab & sleeper suspension parts

Common reasons to order parts from the Cab & Sleeper Suspension category include:

• excessive cab bounce or harsh ride caused by worn or leaking cab shock absorbers;
• sagging cab or incorrect ride height due to tired coil springs or leaking cab air bags;
• clunks, knocks or vibration from worn cab bushes, loose brackets or damaged stabiliser links;
• uneven cab position after accident damage or corrosion around the cab mounting points;
• upgrading from non-original parts to the correct OEM cab suspension components specified for your truck.

How to choose the correct cab suspension part

To minimise fitting issues and ensure the correct cab height and ride quality, please check the following details before ordering:

• truck brand, model and cab type – for example DAF XF106 Super Space Cab, MAN TGX Euro 6, Mercedes Actros MP4, Volvo FH4 Globetrotter;
• mounting position – front or rear cab mount, left or right side, sleeper pod or auxiliary cab support;
• suspension design – mechanical cab suspension with coil springs, or air cab suspension with air bags and levelling valves;
• dimensions and fittings – overall length of the shock absorber, size and type of eye/bush, stud or pin, bracket design and fixing points;
• OE/OEM part numbers stamped or printed on your old shock, air bag or bracket, matched against the references shown in the product description.

If you are unsure, you can contact us with your VIN or registration number and clear photos of the existing cab suspension parts and mounting area. Our team can help you confirm compatibility before you place an order. For general guidance, see How to Find the Right Part and Compatibility & VIN Policy.

Used OEM cab suspension parts from dismantled trucks

VRA Truckparts specialises in used OEM truck parts sourced from carefully selected donor vehicles. Trucks are inspected and documented before dismantling so that cab, suspension and chassis components can be assessed. During dismantling, our technicians remove cab suspension shocks, air bags and mounts, check them for obvious damage or leaks and reject units that do not meet our standards.

Usable parts are cleaned externally, labelled with OEM references where available and stored under cover in our warehouse and yard ready for dispatch. To learn more about how we work, please visit Our Dismantling & Quality Process, Warranty & Part Condition and Trucks We Dismantle.
