The upgraded top seal block assembly is designed to relieve and restore cyclic fluid pressure more effectively, helping reduce the seal wear that commonly leads to fluid loss, reduced damping, and poor ride control. For drivers searching for a front magnetic strut assembly for a 2007-2014 Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Tahoe, or GMC Yukon, Dorman 949-650XD provides a serviceable replacement built around the failure mode seen in the original design. This part cross-references Arnott Industries MR-3568 for the same application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat It Helps Fix\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront strut fluid leaks caused by top seal deterioration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoss of damping performance and inconsistent ride control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNoisy or harsh front suspension behavior from worn strut internals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFailed inspection concerns related to suspension condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacement needs on MagneRide-equipped Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Yukon, and related models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompatible With front suspension applications only.
