When replacing magneride strut, do you need to replace full assembly or just the cylinder?

[bobsaget]

I am trying to replace/repair my magneride struts on a 2015 Yukon. The only OEM struts I can find are unloaded, and do not come with the full assembly (coil, etc.).

Can the auto shop replace the cylinder in the strut and use my existing other parts, or does the whole thing need to be replaced?

You can replace only the shock portion itself, and re-use the rest of the parts that make up the strut assembly.

I'm surprised you can find a shop that will split those apart. Much easier to just replace the shuck/strut assy than to switch parts. Takes about about an hour to do the job, that includes jacking the truck up, removing the wheels, R&R the strut assy and installing the wheels and taking it off the jacks.
Did you try the Arnot Website to find your struts?

Most shops with a heavy duty press/spring compressor can dissemble/re-assemble the strut with ease, and for the right money, will do it for you. Of course, if you go that route, it should not cost much more money to have them do the full job (since they will be basically doing that anyway to work on the strut).

Hello, I also have a 2015 Yukon that needs struts. What did you end up doing to replace your? Rebuild the existing ones or brand new oem acdelco's

OEM will be the best. I’ve done all 4 by myself in my garage. Just get a good spring compressor and you’ll be fine.

Did you go with the ACDELCO ? If so do remember where you purchased it and what the part # was?

Rockauto. Not sure the part but it was the OEM ac delco, their website will show it under OEM replacement.
