Tucson, AZ 2018 Yukon Denali XL suspension & motor mount.

[AZDenaliMike]

First off, howdy, I'm new to the forum! 2018 Denali XL 4x4 with around 66,000 miles. I've owned it since around 50,000.

I have a few questions...
1. I'm in the Tucson, AZ area and I'm hoping another member can recommend a shop they trust to handle repairs I've noted below.
2. I need both the driver side motor-mount replaced as well as rear shocks...seems they are leaking and I've noticed they've become bouncy as hell recently. Quotes for the mount are around $900 and scanning through older threads, that seems fair. As for the shocks, for the sake of continuity and avoiding future replacement costs, should I just get all four replaced? Do I go with OEM or are there others that folks recommend? The roads in Tucson are crap so I'd like to know any non-OEM recommendations will improve ride quality and last me at least another 50,000. I'm not interested in a lift.
3. I've also noticed a pronounced whirring from the engine. Kinda sounds like a far-off chain saw. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the Forum from NH.

Lots of knowledgeable folks here who freely share their knowledge, experiences, and perspectives. Knowledge is power.

I hope that you will become a participating member in the Forum's discussions.

Motor mounts are cheap, so a local repair shop, once you've identified one, should be able to replace it for a reasonable amount of money.

IMO, your OEM suspension/shocks are the best you can buy. If you do any kind of wrenching, the rear shocks are easy to replace yourself.

For parts at reasonable prices, check rockauto.com and/or gmpartsdirect.com. With gmparts.com, enter your VIN and use your RPO code sticker to identify the correct rear shocks.
