Z-71 Guys.......

[Goodinblack]

Folks with Z-71 Packages.....

What color are your FACTORY shock and struts?

Also, is there a part number on them that you can read?

Thank you.

Will depend on the year of the vehicle.

 

[Goodinblack]

Is there a difference in the colors?

Like valving?

 

[JennaBear]

Yes, some are red and some are yellow.

my 2011 has the heavier tow package, the shocks are red and black

Yellow ones are Bilstiens correct?

 

[Goodinblack]

Yes. I believe so..... however Tony just posted a picture of a black Bilstein.

Okay guys. Thank you for the information.

 

[Goodinblack]

Okay so if anyone else wants to do this I have some part numbers now.

The way I did it was find a Z-71........ got the VIN, and bam, reverse look up.

Thank you guys.

Help

Red on mine as well... Just replaced them found the part number on Rockauto.com and then did a google search... best price I found was on Amazon.com shipped to me a a few days...

Only question I have is now that I replaced them when the suspension dropps out (going over a speed bump or hitting a pot hole) the passenger side makes a noticeable clunk.. New shocks on both sides and no Idea what could be causing this... Is it possible for me to have a bad shock that compresses and extends the same as the other new one that I replaced... Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.. Thanks

Doubt it is the shock itself. Besides I never heard a actual shock clunk. It is filled with highly pressured oil.

Go back and check your install. Including sway bar licks etc.
