Help keep your magnetic ride suspension damping as designed with the Dorman OE Solutions Magnetic Ride Control Shock, part number 949-700XD, a front unit built with an upgraded top seal aimed at a common leak point. It fits many Chevrolet, GMC and Cadillac SUVs and trucks equipped with magnetic ride control, among them the 2015-2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 2015-2018 GMC Sierra 1500 and 2015-2020 Chevrolet Tahoe. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
On these vehicles, the original front strut often fails because fluid leaks develop in its top seal assembly. Friction, heat and fluid pressure from every compression and rebound cycle wear the factory seals over time. Once they fail, damping effectiveness and overall suspension performance drop. Sold as a shock absorber, this part is also known as a loaded magnetic front strut.
- Upgraded top seal design: a patent-pending top seal block assembly is designed to relieve and restore cyclic fluid pressure on demand. This helps prevent the fluid leaks that can lead to strut failure.
- Increased reliability: stronger, more durable mounting points are engineered to help support a long service life under tough conditions.
- Advanced technology: provides the same magnetic ride control functionality as factory equipment, known as magnetorheological (MR) damping, and is intended to bring back the original ride feel.
- Direct replacement: built to exacting specifications and designed to perform like the factory strut on the specified applications.
If a leaking or worn front suspension shock absorber is the cause of a bouncy ride, this unit is designed to replace it.
