Front shocks on back order, what else can I use?

[Jeff Helton]

So I have a 2018 Chevy Tahoe Premier 4WD and the dealer told me my front shocks are bad and I need to replace. But they said the shocks are on back order and the few other places I called said the same thing. I then asked an online rep at CARiD.com if there was an item that I could use instead of OEM. They said I could use this (link below). I'm not a mechanic, I have no clue, I usually just listen to what the dealer tells me. But I don't want to wait for months while shocks are on back order, so is there anybody with knowledge of this that can tell me if this part will work for me? I sure would appreciate it. Thank you.

This won't help you much, but there has been some seriously negative discussion in the forum about CARiD of late. Delayed shipments, order cancellations, etc.

What are your 6XX and 7XX RPO codes?

Are you having drivability issues?

Get the part# and do a Google search and see what shows up. The Dealers use to be able to do a nationwide dealer search at all the GM Dealers for Dealer stock. Good luck.

Can you open the PDF I just uploaded?

I was able to finally get the part I needed. My Tahoe has the magnaride shocks and let me tell you, it's extremely difficult to find them anywhere. I called probably 10 different companies before I finally found one that could order them from another state, lol. I went with the Arnott SK 3354. Read good reviews on them so thanks to everybody for their efforts.

I just went through a similar situation and recently in stalled the SK-3354 as well. What do you think of them so far?
