when did you replace your shocks, and with what?

jeffjcalweb · Feb 20, 2018

I have a '15 Denali, bought used as a "CPO". Only has 44K miles (bought with 41k). One complaint after owning it and having some seat time - it is *by far* more bouncy, jostling, swaying of a ride than my previous trucks.

About the only remedy I can think of at this point is perhaps the OEM shocks are just not up to the task. Any suggestion? I wish I knew a better way to describe the ride. I'm pretty happy with the vehicle on highway and long trips that have minimal stop and go.

However I am not very happy right now with stop and go driving - of course that being like 95% of my normal. Just looking for some feedback before I consider more drastic steps. Thanks!

There was a shock update and I believe a TSB for the MRC shocks. Check with your Dealer and ask them to replace your shocks. You should be covered if it was CPO. Also if you look at everything that is suppose to be checked as a CPO the shocks should have been replaced during that process since the ride is as bad as you are experiencing. As a CPO the vehicle is suppose to be reconditioned to like new condition. You can read up on a GM CPO if you do a simple Google search. That is why they claim added value to your vehicle but which of course you pay for one way or another. Good luck.

I have a '99 Suburban and have had several different shocks on it. If you have to replace them out of pocket, Bilsteins are by far the best I've used to stabilize the truck. It's like a completely different vehicle with the Bilsteins. I've had them several years now and they are still great. Big difference if you tow a trailer.

Put Bilstein's all the way around....4600 on back and adjustable 5100 up front and love them! Better quality ride/handles the road better.

Any suggestions for an 07 Denali lowered 2 and 3? Mine is getting bumpy.
