  1. This is what 70k miles of highway driving did to the shocks on my $80k Yukon Denali... I sure wish they'd improve that industry standard!
  2. I have a 2015 Yukon XL Denali. Bought it brand new. Highway driving ONLY and after 70,000 miles BOTH front Magnetic Ride shocks were leaking. One leaked what looked like 10w oil and the other leaked what looked like graphite grease. What a mess! Being mechanically inclined I chose to purchase new units and replace them myself. The first one (left side) went well. I payed close attention to details, took lots of pictures, acquired the proper tools and took my time. Went to the right side and proceeded to do the same EXCEPT I found out it was wired differently from the left side. The left shock was wired with the white wire from the shock going to pin #1 and the black wire to pin #2. The right shock was wired the opposite, white wire to pin #2 and the black wire to pin #1. I was very careful and positive I didn't get them mixed up. I took and have pictures of the connectors before I took them apart. My question is does it matter? If so how can I find out which way is correct? When looking at a GM Electrical Body Builders Manual I found plugs Q37LF and Q37RF (the connectors for the front shocks) were wired the same. Pin #1,="Front Strut Motor Increase Damping Control" and Pin #2,="Front Strut Motor Decrease Damping Control". With that information I think it WOULD make a difference. Where can I find the correct information for the wiring on the shock itself?
