    Aftermarket Magnaride Bouncing

    I have a similar experience when I installed aftermarket Arnott magneride. It rode great at first, but after 1000 miles, it seems to have gotten more bouncy. I do realize the feeling "bouncy" is subjective and I think partially, I have gotten used to the ride and now am noticing every single...

    New coil springs to make life easy?

    Hi, I Don't think there are bearings in the shock mounts. Only Struts like Macpherson type have bearings. you should replace them if they seem damaged or collapsed.

    Another Magneride question.....

    OP, what did you end up purchasing? would love your feedback on what you settled with. I got the Arnotts a month ago, and will be switching the springs back to OEM, and keeping the Arnott shocks, since they are working OK, but the springs are a bit stiff (probably because they gave a 2 inch lift...

    Arnott MR4262 for replacing front Magneride Z95 suspension info

    Thanks for the feedback. This car definitely handles better than it should for it's size. My thinking is that the Arnott springs must be stiffer, since it offers an almost 2 inch lift for the fronts (I just measured today again) I just remember the first time I drove it with the OEM springs and...

    Arnott MR4262 for replacing front Magneride Z95 suspension info

    Thanks for the input. I havent really heard anything bad about strutmasters. I dont have any reference on how the OEM feels since I purchased this car with 140k miles and replaced the fronts because the passenger side only was leaking. The rears are squeaking over speed bumps, but the rears ride...

    Arnott MR4262 for replacing front Magneride Z95 suspension info

    After a few thousand miles, I cant help but to think the ride is not as soft as it was before. It could be in my head, im not sure, but I am very close to swapping out for my stock springs. It could very well be once I swap in the OEM springs, it rides exactly the same haha. If anyone wants to...

    Which brand of struts do you recommend for 2015 Yukon with Magneride?

    BWI makes them, but I think they are labeled ACDelco. Dont buy from ebay. I got the Arnotts. Not really liking the 1.5 inch lift i got. If anyone wants to trade for a stock shock that's OEM, I would trade them. My arnotts are pre-loaded with springs.

    Which brand of struts do you recommend for 2015 Yukon with Magneride?

    I got the arnotts, and they lift up the front about 2 inches with their springs. i would recommend getting OEM and re-using old springs. and get them from reputable source like rockauto. ebay is full of counterfeits that look REAL.

    (another) magneride question

    how does the car act when rolling over a speed bump? does it hit bump stops? or make a bunch of crunching noises ?

    Ball joints recommendations?

    Use OEM. The quality of Dorman or others is questionable. also get from a source like rockauto so that you dont worry about counterfeits.

    I'm at a loss... Can't determine CLUNK sound

    how does your car idle? Could it be motor mounts? Try to isolate the bump by doing things like pressing on the brakes/accelerating/decelerating/coasting/engine-loaded or not for example, when you are about to hit the bump, drag your brakes a little. This will put tension on the calipers and...

    Arnott MR4262 for replacing front Magneride Z95 suspension info

    With more miles on the Arnott, I have more feedback. Even though I dont have another Yukon to compare, I dont remember the suspension being harsh on small bumps. for example, going over bumps at low speeds is super harsh. I honestly think this is because the lift that the arnotts offer. With my...

    Arnott MR4262 for replacing front Magneride Z95 suspension info

    further update with a few hundred more miles and different types of roads. I think the fact the suspension was lifted 2 inches means the suspension is stiffer. In my other cars (stock suspension) going over a hump at a high speed, the car suspension would extend then land softly. With my...

    What brand name oil

    I'll be trying liquimoly for my next change. I can get it from FCPEuro so the oil has a lifetime gaurantee. I've done this with my other vehicles and was always able to ship back my old oil for store credit.
