Key Features

Detailed Description
The Standard Ignition VHS116 suspension ride height sensor is engineered for OE-style replacement on applications such as the Chevrolet Avalanche 1500, Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Yukon, GMC Yukon XL 1500, and Chevrolet Suburban 1500. This sensor helps the suspension control system monitor vehicle height so the self-leveling system can respond correctly and maintain consistent ride height. The VHS116 is a practical choice when the original unit is damaged in a collision or no longer reports height accurately.
This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
What It Helps Fix
- Suspension self-leveling system warning or malfunction
- Incorrect vehicle ride height at the front left corner
- Sensor damage from front-end impact or road debris
- Erratic height signal to the suspension control module
- Poor ride comfort caused by failed height feedback
