Where do I find information on my 2015 Yukon Denali

[Realokie]

Believe my 15 Denali rear shocks have "frozen". They appear to be "Air" because there is a small diameter tube going to them. Where can I find information on them. Where can I find info on what equipment is on my truck? Yep, I'm new to this!

Welcome, if you have a Denali then you have magnetic ride shocks. There is an issue with the shocks just do a Google search. Did you get any type of warranty when you purchased the vehicle. If you purchase the parts yourself, Dealers are very expensive, try the Arnott brand from Rockauto, Ebay or Google search the part number for any Dealers selling wholesale. Good luck.

I've found this site to be pretty informative. It might reveal some specs you're looking for.

Magnaride are expensive. I had a leaky front passenger and replaced ALL 4 with Arnott strut/shocks that I got from Summit Racing.

Summit seems to be the most affordable. But for warranty, you have to go thru summit or Arnott.

Monroe also makes a replacement for the Z55, but they are PROUD of them!

Did you perform the install? If so, any expert skills required?

And sort of related, did you also replace the rear springs (I have an 08 w/ 200k, so am planning on doing this with the Arnotts).


any help appreciated...

Hi Joe,
I sure did. Expert? NO. Patience with the fronts, YES. Some people don't remove the fender well. I did, it gave me less busted knuckles. On a scale of 1-10for difficulty (10 being toughest) For me I would say it was between 2-3. I'm not an expert just not afraid to tackle stuff. I watched some youtube videos and read some forums and knocked it out in about 4 hours on a Saturday. I did all four shocks and brakes for less than the Stealer wanted for 2 front shocks. I didn't do the springs since mine seemed fine. Someone else will probably chime in on those. Hope this helps. If you have any questions don't be afraid to ask, that's what the community is all about.

many thx for the info - ordered them after reading your response, arrive midday today.

the question - is (blue) Loctite ever advised for the bolts/threads I'll have access to?

Loctite is not needed on the shocks, or air compressor.
