Hi All. This is my first post, but I've been lurking a while.
The front right shock has been leaking on my 2018 Tahoe Premier. After about a week of research and confirmation from the nice folks at Arnott, I bought a pair of MR-3840s at RockAuto. Yes, I used the discount code from here(thank you). The issue started when I tried to install them. There was some interference with the back side of the shock. The best I could do was get one of the top studs into its respective hole. The top cap and spring on the MR-3840s are about an inch larger diameter than my existing strut assemblies.
Called Arnott this morning and they had never encountered this before. They are researching and will let me know.
The pic of the shock sticker is a little blurry, took it after the wheel was back on. The number is 84176632, which comes up as a discontinued spring or spring assembly.
Has anyone run into this issue before? Any solution other than rebuilding the originals?
Thanks in advance,
Dana
