OEM replacement front struts aren’t bad on $$ but the rears are. Arnott are comfortable but a little softer ride and typically the front ride height is a little lower with those. Some might feel that they lost the “sporty” feel that the stiffer dampening provides. Shock sims, shocks/struts, and...
Redneck engineering here is to turn the vehicle on and start shaking harnesses and lightly tapping connectors until you find one that replicates your issue then break out the multimeter.
Open the back door and bounce up and down on the side step, look at the rear wheel gap. When magneride fail they lock up and you’ll be able to tell when doing this.

Someone posted a chart before with all components broken down with part #’s but I can’t find it.
You’ve got upper and lower spring isolators, bump stop, spring seat and top hat. Unless those are dry rotted/rusted and compromised 99% of people re-use them.
Depending on how much residue is left you can use an eraser wheel to remove it, or an adhesive cleaner (3M is best). After that use a buffer and polish to go over the affected area to try to blend it in. It’s not going to be 100% but it won’t be as noticeable as it is now.
Could just be a coincidence that you notice it now after the mod because you’re paying attention to it. When these fail they lock up. Try jumping on the running board on both sides, if you get easy up and down movement then the shock is likely fine. Remove the air line and look for oil in the...
