Help keep your truck or SUV controlled and composed with the Dorman OE Solutions magnetic ride control shock absorber, part number 949-701XD. It is an OE FIX design that targets top-seal fluid leaks, which Dorman identifies as a common cause of failure in the factory unit. It fits many vehicles equipped with magnetic ride control, among them the 2008-2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 2008-2014 GMC Sierra 1500 and 2008-2014 Chevrolet Tahoe, and it installs in either the front left or the front right position.
On the original front units, every compression and rebound cycle creates friction, heat and fluid pressure that can wear out the top seals over time. A failed seal leaks fluid and can reduce damping effectiveness and suspension performance. Dorman's patent-pending top seal block assembly is designed to absorb impact pressure by relieving and restoring cyclic fluid pressure on demand. This design is intended to reduce the internal pressurization found in the original unit.
- Upgraded top seal: an innovative seal design intended to prevent the fluid leaks that can lead to failure.
- Stronger mounting points: more durable mounting points engineered to support long service life under tough conditions.
- Magnetic ride control: the same magnetorheological (MR) damping functionality as the factory equipment.
- Direct replacement: built to exacting specifications to match the original equipment unit's performance on the listed applications.
If you need a 2008-2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 shock absorber for a truck with magnetic ride control, and a leaking or worn front unit is the cause of a bouncy, loose ride, this unit replaces it. Replacing both front sides together is recommended for balanced handling. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of applications and engines.
