'15 Yukon Denali; replaced front struts for $1500 last fall. Now rear shocks going bad. Not paying $650 each + labor for the dealer to fix. Found them online for around $350 each. BTW - Z95 Magneride.

Part number is 84176675 but all the OEM part websites have a GM note to "order by code" - I've seen the code AC39 and AB8L --- same part number (84176675). Anyone know what this code is and what it means? Not an RPO code. I called a couple of dealers they were clueless but said as long as the part number is the same, they'll fit.

I found them on CarID for $310 after 5% off but they are AC39. My current shocks have a sticker that say AB8L.

Anyone know?
