Overview

  • Single-tube internal construction
  • Ceramic-coated finish for added surface protection
  • Bushed eyelet upper and lower mounts

Detailed Description

This Dorman air shock absorber is engineered as a direct-fit replacement for vehicles equipped with the specified rear air suspension setup. The single-tube construction, ceramic-coated surface, and standard replacement grade support consistent operation under demanding suspension loads. Part number 949-012 is a practical choice for Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Tahoe, and GMC Yukon rear applications with RPO code Z55 Real Time Damping. This part cross-references Arnott Industries (e.g., AS-2708, AS-3430) for the same application.

What It Helps Solve

  • Loss of rear ride control from a worn air shock
  • Uneven suspension response under load
  • Reduced damping performance from aging components
  • Air suspension service needs on Z55-equipped vehicles
