2007 GMC Yukon Denali.....Auto Ride/Suspension....

ohana2

I have a 2007 Yukon Denali..less than 77k miles....hearing this squeaking noise coming from front suspension...Dealer says it's the "auto-ride/suspension"...recommending replacing struts and mounts at cost of around $1800 including parts/labor.... Noise is most prevalent when driving slowly thru parking lots/over speed bumps and/or any road dip... squeak, squeak, squeak, very annoying.....

Is this common issue for suspension with Yukon?? For this extensive work, feel safer having it done at GMC dealer....or are their other recommendations places that specialize in this type of suspension work for lower price w/guaranteed work?? Appreciate any advice before I commit to spend approx. $2k to repair....

I was trying too look up parts. That's a GMC Yukon Denali. But Rockauto.com or other parts sources don't show a separate listing for the Denali. What you should do is check the price for replacing the shocks with Monroe shocks. If the fronts do have struts same there.

My question is are there any electrical connections to the shocks/struts currently there. If so, you may have a problem replacing with aftermarket. If they only have a nylon air line to the shock, then you should be able
to replace them. You will need to check the RPO tag, usually on the spare tire area, that shows the options list for the vehicle. These tell which suspension the truck has.

When you start looking at replacements, they will refer to those codes to determine what replacements will work.

In replacements from AC Delco, the rockauto.com listing for GCM|Yukon|6.2L has lots of the RPO codes for the various correct struts. You need to have a copy of your RPO tag to figure out which of the shocks from there work. An independent shop that does these replacements on SUVs should be able to install ACDelco or install your parts from Rockauto and confer with you about what extra parts need to be ordered. I had a local shop that charged for labor but would install customer parts. Ask around.

My 2007 Yukon XL has this exact same problem.  Did replacing the shocks and mounts fix the squeak?
