I had no Suspension or Eng. Lights on. I only had some proximity Sensor codes for the bumper sensors. granted my otc scanner is only updated to 2014. I checked the suspension window for current, history and failed since cleared and nothing came up.

Same issue ... 2 blown front shocks on my '15 Suburban with 55,000 miles leaking all over my garage floor. Cost to replace $1,800. Actually the first time in my life I have to replace shocks on any vehicle I have owned! This is my 3rd Suburban and perhaps my last.

Likewise here, this is my sixth suburban and possibly my last if GM does not take care of this problem. How long have the replacement parts lasted?

I have about 20,000 on the ones I replaced. I am keeping a close eye on them, no leaks yet.

Yes, Right from my local Chevrolet dealer. Luckily I run a shop and buy lots of parts thru them so they gave them to me at a "Fair" Price. I think they go for $600 plus each.

Thanks, yeah they are telling me I need to replace front and rear for around $3000. The ride quality never bothered me but the front are now leaking and the rear seem to be lock out. Now it just bounces all over the road.

Ya. Me front struts were leaking and then they locked up tight. It was like riding in a F1 Car.

they are still in the truck. and they are not leaking yet. I had a hard time pulling the pins on the harness, so I cut and spliced the old harness on the new stocks.
