Magneride Review

[jm98]

Bought a set of (2) OEM Magnerides May 2022 for my '15 LTZ. Had them installed June '22. Been hearing the DS front shock creak and sqeak again for the past 3-4 months now.

Lifted the boot tonight and the top of the shock is covered in grease (again). I haven't even put 8,000 miles on these replacements.

Extremely disappointed, whats others experiences been? Should I even try to get GM warranty on the units or is that a waste of time?

Should be a 24 month warranty on genuine GM parts. Try to get them to take care of it.

I will try it and report back. Just checked the invoice from when they were installed and its been just over 7k miles. Sad.

Update.

Just got off the phone with AC Delco. Larry there informed me that gmpartsonline.net is not a recognized retailer of AC Delco parts, despite what it says on their website.

He said that they are a 3rd party distributor and the warranty process has to begin with them. I reached out to gmpartsonline yesterday and its crickets. Tried to login, no luck. Tried to reset my password, no luck.

I literally am using the email I had the order confirmation sent to me on less then 8 months ago, so I know that is not the issue.

So, potential reader/buyer beware : CALL AC DELCO TO SEE WHO IS AN APPROVED VENDOR.

I am not the type of guy to needlessly throw a vendor under the bus but GMPartsOnline has left an extremally bad taste in my mouth. I should have taken a few more moments before ordering to read the horrible reviews about their service.
