Yes, that’s for 2009+ z95 / Magneride. You’re Susp control module (software) doesn’t control the valves on that or the mag fluid.

R/A has the correct struts, for less, plus a 5% discount code. An Indi shop can install the z55 in 90 min. It’s one of these two…

Your vehicle has z55 suspension. z95 was not available until 2009, if that helps and … only if you had a hybrid Yukon Denali or Escalade.

Parts Geek will take your incorrect struts back but only if you let them know they’re bouncy and inform them the packaging appeared as though it was damaged or dropped.

You’ve only got to do it right once.

Yes, that helps. Thank! I didn’t know about the yr Z95 came out. I do have the FlexFuel version of the Tahoe.

I did purchase a 2yr service contract, but who wants to take all that off to return em. Ugh! Had I been equipped with the correct knowledge, I’d be doing this once. But, I am learning a lot here and hopefully the shop can correct things.

No biggie. Here’s the rear set up…

At least you didn’t wait until 190k to replace your struts like me.

The shop will gladly swap them out if your service contract covers the leaky rear main seal and motor mounts. It’s a huge labor job they’ll gladly take on.

Hahaha …

Discount code page


If you have coverage for gaskets and seals be sure they replace leaky pan, steering rack and leaky coolant reservoir/ radiator before times up

That coverage, long gone. lol. I did have some things addressed, but given my experience with these shops, I like to be involved. I have the knowledge, apparently not all, lol but.. I changed the value cover gaskets. It looked intimidating at first, with all the harnesses etc.

@Scheme1 Get the proper shocks Z55 (electronic suspension system, not Magneride suspension system), and you will be good to go. Expensive mistake, but a learning experience. The RPO codes in your glove box are your friends in obtaining the proper parts.

Thanks, Joseph! I had just come to that conclusion. Yes, what an expensive educational moment and mistake. But, I’ve joined a forum full of good people with experience & knowledge. Now the worst part is uninstalling, finding boxes, shipping em back etc… lol. Again, thank you.
