The rough ride problem that's associated with the Mag Ride Suspension has been solved. Part of the solution was exactly what most people thought, replace the computer controlled shocks with standard shocks. However that would create an alert light on the dash and in the DIC. Two companies, could be more, have come up with sensors that allow you to R&R those Mag Ride shocks with standard shocks. X-Enginerring sells a kit for $425.00 that includes a ride sensor and level sensor for 4 wheels. Replace the factory sensors with these and the computer thinks the Mag Ride shocks are still on the vehicle. I installed AC Delco OEM shocks and my Tahoe rides great.
Hello All,
i have a tahoe 2016 LS and its ride is so bad and harsh. I think the problem is from the shocks. They were designed to dcrease vehicle up and down movements while on a high way. They are very very stiff, i compared a Tahoe shock and a Ford 150 shock, the later was very soft compared to the first one. When i push the tahoe shock on the ground upside down, it doest move untill i keep pushing with all my wight while the ford shock can be pressed easealy with my hand fingers. So, i think the problem is from the shocks, they do not absorb the first shock and that what you feel when you drive over a dumb, the first shock is transmitted to your body, it seems that there is a delay in absorbing the dumbs.
the solutions in my opinion,
radical solution: installing a tubdra or f150 coilover on the tahoe
i was thinking about installing some elastic layers between the tahoe coilover and the chasis but i do not know about its validity
