Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:949-697
Keep magnetorheological damping working on your Cadillac with the Dorman OE Solutions Magnetic Ride Control Shock Absorber 949-836. This rear right shock installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2013-2019 Cadillac XTS — see the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your exact application. On magnetic-ride units, the factory top seal deteriorates over time from the friction, heat and fluid pressure generated during every compression and rebound cycle, and a leaking seal can lead to a loss of damping. This Dorman OE FIX unit reworks that area with a patent-pending top seal block assembly designed to relieve and restore cyclic fluid pressure on demand, helping reduce the internal fluid pressurization inherent in the original design.
Sold individually; this listing is for one rear right shock. For a balanced ride, consider replacing the opposite side as a matched pair.

What vehicles does the Dorman 949-836 fit?
It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2013-2019 Cadillac XTS in the rear right position. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the exact application for your vehicle.
What position is this shock absorber for?
It is the rear right unit. It's sold individually, so order one per side; replacing both rear sides as a matched pair is a good practice for a balanced ride.
What is magnetic ride control?
It's a magnetorheological (MR) damping system that uses a magnetically responsive fluid to adjust damping. This shock retains the same MR functionality as the factory unit.
How is this different from the original equipment shock?
It uses a patent-pending upgraded top seal block assembly and stronger mounting points, designed to relieve and restore cyclic fluid pressure and help address the fluid leaks that lead to seal failure.
What part numbers does it interchange with?
It cross-references MR-4359, SK-3357 and 84326294 (also written MR4359 and SK3357).
