Rear Air Suspension Strut For Cadillac Escalade Tahoe Suburban Yukon Avalanche Without Magnetic Ride

Q1: Which vehicles does this fit? Cadillac Escalade II/III (2002–2014), Chevrolet Avalanche / Suburban / Tahoe and GMC Yukon with factory rear air suspension, per the supplier table. Catalog fitment also covers Escalade 1998–2014, Avalanche 2000–2013, Suburban 2007–…, Tahoe 1999–2013, Yukon 2010–2014 — confirm the exact model and year by VIN.
Q2: Is this a single part for both rear sides? The supplier table lists this OE as "Rear" (left & right). For these GM SUVs the rear air struts are installed per side — confirm the side and stamped number by VIN when ordering.
Q3: Is this the Magnetic Ride version? No — this WITHOUT Magnetic Ride variant (non-MRC damper, factory electronic suspension control), as confirmed. If your vehicle is equipped with Magnetic Ride (MRC damper with electrical connector), a different variant is required.
Q4: Is this the complete strut or just the air spring? The complete assembly — air spring (bellows) + shock absorber integrated in one unit (top eye / bottom eye), ready to install as a direct replacement.
Q5: Does this strut have electrical damping? No — this without Magnetic Ride variant has no MRC electrical damper. It is the non-magnetorheological version for electronic-suspension-control vehicles — confirm the original unit has no MRC connector to match.
Q6: Do I need to replace both rear sides at the same time? Same-axle pair replacement is strongly recommended; an old unit on the other side causes uneven height and damping behavior.
Q7: What should I pay attention to during installation? Release the air suspension pressure per the workshop manual; protect the air fitting from dirt; after installation let the leveling system re-level and perform the suspension calibration if required by the workshop manual; check both sides' height and leaks before a road test.
Q8: Warranty policy and shipping damage? 18-month warranty under normal use. For shipping damage, inspect within 48 hours of receipt and send photos/video — the seller arranges a replacement.
Q9: Service life and maintenance? Depends on road conditions and climate. Keep the bellows clean and check for cracks during routine service; replace the complete unit if a bellows leak is found.
Q10: Are aftermarket alternatives available? The interchange list for this OE number is available on request. Order by the exact OE number and confirm the model/year, variant and side by VIN.
