Magne Ride Shocks
Apparently my new to me C7 needs new Shocks as they are leaking. I was shocked pun intended on how much they are. Anyone have a source for aftermarket equivalent to OEM.
Thanks!
Thanks!

I would only buy from RA if I don't plan on using the warranty and time isn't an issue. RA makes warranty a bit more complicated and last time I got shocks shipped next day, it was 3 days later. Mechanic was pissed with it sitting on the lift waiting for parts I told him would come next day. Fedex told me that they couldn't refund my next day shipping and RA told me to go pound sand in not so many words.

Do they still dampen and adjust properly?

Shock absorber: defined suspension component designed to reduce the jolting and jarring on uneven terrain.
Cornering the other day felt unstable at best and harshness. I've had a C7 before but this has 60k miles so just want to replace and get it sorted. Rock Auto has what I need and GM products so think I'm set.

Fair enough. Only way I know that's definitive is to put it on a shock dyno. Besides Bilstein, I'm not sure who has one to test. On non mag shocks, I like to push them in and see how they compare to a new one before I install it. For the kind of money you are spending, I will want to he sure before I install it.

I'm somewhat familiar with the shock absorber thing. I just didn't understand what that sentence meant.

Don't know how old you are or what age has to do with anything. Some people use SOTP some like me, deliberately ignore it and prefer instruments since they are less subjective and less prone to imagination interfering with the judgment.

Isn't "prognosis" akin to a forecast? Or did you mean that your diagnosis is based on.....?
