    2010 Escalade suspension issues

    I thought so and I don’t think that’s my problem but it shows a torque converter can cause symptoms that some would describe as a shuffleboard or washboard esque ride and not just a vibration. I’m not going to rule anything out but I’m leaning towards a tire or another bad strut at this point.

    2010 Escalade suspension issues

    I believe I’ve read about a tsb or recall or something on newer trucks regarding a torque converter shudder of some sort in my searches, could have even been a post from you if you posted about it. I was hoping to avoid having it worked on but I likely wouldn’t be able to diagnose something like...

    2010 Escalade suspension issues

    Kept the same rear springs. I figured I could change them later if there was a problem since the air suspension doesn’t actively hold the truck up without a load like the old nivomats do. That was my understanding at least. 540-435 are what I used, not sure what springs are on mine currently...

    2010 Escalade suspension issues

    Also I’m fairly new to this forum and a couple others, this truck has a few issues which are really driving me even crazier than my 535 used to. Thanks all for the time and replies so far, I really appreciate it.

    2010 Escalade suspension issues

    While it’s probably not common to do all 4 corners and only keep front magride, I came across several people who swapped to passive rear and left the front alone with no reported issues. Also came across a few threads where the zw7 rears were recommended as a drop in conversion even with 22s...

    2010 Escalade suspension issues

    My fault for not specifying what I used. It has a spare and the 3rd row is in it so I assume it’s adequately loaded in the rear. I recently took the spare off to put on each corner to see if I noticed a difference, might not have told me much since it’s 10 years old and could have hardened from...

    2010 Escalade suspension issues

    I keep them at 35, ive tried running them between 30-40 just to see if there’s any difference and it’s all the same. Used the toyos on several vehicles and they rode great and seem to last forever but they all had a lot more sidewall to absorb bumps so I could see them possibly being an issue...

    2010 Escalade suspension issues

    Sorry left this out in the original post. They are acdelco shocks and are the exact ones that came on Escalade esvs with zw7 smooth ride package so they’re oem just from a different suspension package. I found some conflicting info on whether the springs for the rear were the same with zw7 vs...

    Did away with rear air, used zw7 rear shocks and they feel great

    2010 Escalade suspension issues

    No tech2, probably should invest in one. It was my understanding that when unplugged the shocks revert to the softest ride which is the default, and that happens when I unplug mine but it still feels like riding on a washboard road. I suppose it’s possible the other strut is bad again but it...

    2010 Escalade suspension issues

    I knew I should have gone aftermarket quick struts and been done with the magneride but on amazon new struts weren't too bad and they're pretty painless with their warranty for car parts so I decided to go that route.

    2010 Escalade suspension issues

    It’s got Toyo open country ht on it. They were installed at a local tire shop. I suppose multiple/all of them could be causing the problem but I put the spare on it and there was no change. Not sure if it’s out of balance but it’s been my experience in the past that not all out of balance tires...

    2010 Escalade suspension issues

    I have a 2010 ESV 2wd with magneride and 22 inch wheels, 200k miles. Ive replaced all four struts/shocks, a hub, upper control arm, lower balljoint, swaybar endlinks, inner and outer tierods, then an alignment. Everything was replaced with correct oem or moog parts. I am still experiencing a...
