Hello thank you I enjoy the car much better now. Let me know how it goes.

Great video. For the passenger side, you can get to the top boot from the piste if you use a knuckle on your ratchet. Thats what I did as I didn’t want to take anything else off.

Hello thanks for the idea for others to try out. I removed some stuff to make it easier for the video too.

Thank you for your response. In another video I also found 85 ft lbs for the Rear shocks top and bottom and 37 ft lbs for the Front shocks top and bottom.

Hello I appreciate your help. Thanks

Probably someone tried to replace them already and lost a bolt lol

Well done, thanks..

Great Video. Isn't it recommend to torque the shock bolts? If yes, do you know the torque specs for the shock bolts?

Hello I have spent some time searching but no luck with exact torque specs. When I did the video I searched and didnt find either. I did see another video that mentioned 85 ft lbs for the bottom of the rear shock but didnt say anything about the top which I believe is less. Thank you

Replacing my shocks tomorrow! Did you disconnect the battery before replacing the shocks? I'm not sure why some recommend this step.

I did not remove terminal on mine since I used OEM part. I have seen some aftermarket ones throw a check engine light. Hope you enjoy the new ride. Thanks

Thanks so much for this video. I used it to change my rear shocks on our 2018 Yukon XL Denali just yesterday morning & it was a great help. I followed it step by step & it only took me about 3 hrs total from gathering tools to cleaning up. Honestly, the hardest part was lifting the 22" tire/wheels to mount them back on. Unfortunately both rear shocks & both front struts have leaked out on our Yukon. I'm replacing them two at the time because of the costs. I did find that Rock Auto has all four for around $400.00 each (will be purchasing the front struts in about a month). However, the front struts change is going to be a bit more challenging as the strut will have to be removed from the coil & the electrical terminal will have to be removed from the old strut & installed on the new strut, which looks VERY tedious & time consuming. Have you made a video for the front strut OEM replacement & if not, will you be doing so?

Is it a shock absorber issue if the Escalade ESV rides like it’s porpoising down the road ?

Yes it is I was driving mine like that for about 9 months or so and once I changed them it made such a difference. They last about 75k miles so I have to change my fronts also which I have there to do. I also did my brakes from factory installed pads to good quality ceramic pads and cut the rotors and wow the difference was awesome. Its a big SUV and brakes are mushy now it stops the way is suppose to.

So is this a common thing for these shocks to go out/bad so soon my wife has a 2017 xl denali?

Hello yes they go bad around 75k miles or so. There are options to delete them and install standard ones. Just do your research on that if you dont want to spend the crazy amount or get generic ones. I posted a few options on the link. thanks
