    Replacement autoride strut coil spring assembly

    Sorry, I would have taken you up on that, but they got taken out with the trash. They were really beat up. I don’t know what the exact issue was, but they would clank around loudly when I went over speed bumps, and they felt pretty unstable hitting bumps at high speeds on the freeway. No more...

    Just curious, what would you do with them? Is there a way to rebuild them DIY?

    Or put the front cores to good use. Otherwise it looks like they’re going in the trash

    Replacement autoride strut coil spring assembly

    Just as a quick follow-up, I went with the arnott passive front strut assemblies and rear shocks and they’re great…I’m not sure not as good as the oem autoride, but good enough for government work, and total cost was under $800 out the door from rock auto (DIY installed in 2-3 hour each pair) +...

    Replacement autoride strut coil spring assembly

    in case helpful, the arnott assembly is part # SK2954, $197.79 each on rock auto. Lowest price I found anywhere (even taking into account shipping cost). As I mentioned before, we’d lose the autoride functionaloty with these. Rock auto is showing a Dorman assembly (949650XD) that is labeled...

    Replacement autoride strut coil spring assembly

    I still haven’t decided, but going full OEM is going to be like $2k+ out the door, which is pretty steep for me considering the age/value of the vehicle. Rock auto has a passive fully assembled front strut assembly and passive rear shocks for ~$170 each or a little over $750 out the door. I’m...

    HELP!!! Bilstein 5100s on a AWD Denali with Z55

    Also if folks have pics of their rides with the Bilstein 5100s, I’d be interested in seeing them. I’ve been going back and forth about whether to replace my old worn out OEM autoride suspension components (which are super expensive imo) or go with a passive set up like the Bilsteins with mild...

    HELP!!! Bilstein 5100s on a AWD Denali with Z55

    sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I wanted to see if anyone could confirm whether new front coil springs are required if converting the front z55 autoride struts to Bilstein 5100, or if the factory z55 autoride coil springs can still be used with passive front shocks. This thread seems to...

    Yes, I have the z55 primary code. I cross checked GMpartsdirect and the 20842472 part number lines up. Thanks again :)

    Replacement autoride strut coil spring assembly

    Might’ve answered my own question after doing a parts search on ac delco - I plugged my vin in - 1GKUKEEF8AR268270- and its returning a GM part number 20842472 as corresponding to RPO codes 6G4 and 7G4. That part number doesn’t line up to the rock auto offerings, so it maybe a non OEM spring...

    Replacement autoride strut coil spring assembly

    Hopefully last question on this - any tips on how to locate the RPO code for the coil springs? Rock auto appears to have a few GM OEM springs available using my vehicle info (year, model), but the only suspension RPO codes listed in my glove box (6G4 and 7G4) don’t seem to line up with the...

    Thanks guys! Can’t overstate how helpful this info is

    Replacement autoride strut coil spring assembly

    Thank you so much! From what I’ve seen during my review of the various forums, it seems like the “majority view” in the forum participants is that the oem active ride is “better” than the non-active/dummy replacements. Do you all generally understand that to be the case? In case helpful, I...

    Replacement autoride strut coil spring assembly

    Hi all, new to the forum and first time posting. I tried looking for an answer for about an hour, but couldn’t quite find what I was looking for. Feel free to forward links to other thread(s) if this has already been discussed and settled :) I recently purchased a 2010 Yukon Denali AWD with...
