timokon@yahoo.com Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 Hi: I need to replace the front struts, and rear shocks in my 92 DeVille. Obviously, the car has SSS, but I would like to replace with lower cost aftermarket air shocks and struts. Suggestions? I have replaced the rears twice now, and they keep blowing out , causing the suspension compressor to run almost constantly. Any help is appreciated. Have a great day.

BSchlossmann Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 I recently replaced the front struts on my 93 Eldo with 148k miles with passive struts from Strutmaster. I pick them up on E-Bay for $140 delivered. This will cause the service ride control message to be displayed on the DIC. There has been a lot on this subject in the past. Search the archives. Someone else used the GM replacement part which ran about $360 each. An alignment will run you about another $60 to $70. While your in there it would also be a good time to check the stabilizer links and the sway bar and control arm bushings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timokon@yahoo.com Posted May 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 Thanks. I'll check it out. How do you like the ride / handling characteristics of the Strutmaster product vs OEM? Do you use a specific vendor on Ebay? Any thoughts on the rear air shocks? Cheers, Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
