Cadillac XTS Front Magnetic Strut Replacement | All About Carz | Fix | AllAboutCarz 

Great job, thanks for sharing.

Hello thank you 😊 I tried to make very detailed videos to help people who are trying to buy one of these make an inform decision. This car has 125k miles on it. If you check out some of my other videos on this car, you will see that I replaced the engine mounts and today I am working on replacing the rear bearings and the suspension bar.

Wow 😮 thank you- I only replace a set so far, wish me luck.

I suggest the originals that came on car for replacement, they high as hell but it’s worth it , I replaced all with a brand from orileys called arnott , do not use them , car rides bad no cushion ride at all I am now putting original back on myself, thanks for this video it really helps us save so much money 🙌🏾

Thank you for making this video. I have to replace my front shocks next week when they come in the mail. Now I feel confident enough to do it myself. ✊🏾

@@jayhunt7719 my pleasure. Check out some of the other Cadillac videos here they might help you.

Good luck 🍀 I ordered my set from EBay also.

Nothing makes a mechanic hate you more than you hovering over him because youbwatched a RU-vid video

@@REAPER3fitty that might be true, but there is nothing like RU-vid University to the rescue 🛟

Thank you very much. I have so many videos on this channel about this Cadillac, good luck 🍀 I think are going to change a few more things.

Thank you sir - I tried to note every step even the smallest. I also put the link in the description to where I purchased them. Good luck

I just ordered them from the link you recommended, great price too, i was about to order from strutmasters before i watched your video.@@AllAboutCarzz

@@BOBBYB3133 wish you luck 🍀 I like this car 🚗 I just don’t like the fact that the car is too heavy for the suspension. That’s why they go out so fast.

@AllAboutCarzz update: thanks to your video I successfully got the job done about 2 weeks after my first comment. On the downside, things didn't come apart as easily as it did for you on your video. But I eventually got the job done and was so satisfied a week later I replaced the back shocks also, which was much easier? Back to a smooth ride. Thanks again for your video.

@@BOBBYB3133 it is such a pleasure to read comments like this because Cadillac stealerships at $200 + per hour labor and a $3000 dollar is not worth it. Thank you

Hello @esnfa thank you - I buy from ebay and Amazon depending on cost and prior customer ratings, hope this helps.

Appearance

You might have the same problem I have a few more videos on these cars with some of its problems, thanks 🙏

Thank you 😊 appreciate it

Be patient and you can. It is a pleasure to help, remember I have more videos on this channel about this car 🚗 good luck.

Hello 👋 I do not. I just realized that the seller that I bought the two from on EBay are out of stock.

Return those and try another pair. Remember to double that your car model is the same. My car has the brembo brake system, GM made about 3 or 4 models for this same year. I recommend calling the dealership with your vin number to make sure, they will even give you the oem part number and you just put it in Amazon or Ebay. Good luck 🍀

My pleasure. I understand they are problematic but I only had to do one so far.🤞

Mine are leaking and the rear shocks are blown. They want $9500 to replace all. Warranty expired.

@@TheOcto09 buy those things online for cheap and get to work. You can do it, good luck 🍀

More upgrades on the shocks

Wow. I never had that problem. Did you align it already?

Thank you very much

Happy it help, thank you

I don’t know 🤷‍♂️ but I think it is apart of the abs

Thank you very much.

Like I said before “I am not a mechanic” so please look up the torque online or call your local dealership for more information. I AM ONLY SHOWING THE WORLD WHAT I DID TO MY CAR.

Thank you 🙏

Hello 👋 I think 🤔 400 is very reasonable. But it depends on where you live, in Arnold, NE that is too much however in Brooklyn, NY that is too little. Or maybe with my video it could be helpful.

Great job, but I don’t know 🤷‍♂️

Hello thank you. Please look in the description I put the shocks I used.

GM biggest problem, thanks 😊

This is the part number that my car use - GM 84677093

Hello 👋 my suspension was also noisy, here is a video to prove that - ru-vid.comLpXO2_v2INI?feature=share - this car definitely have this problem that’s why I changed both front and rear. Look at all the videos I have on this channel about this Caddy XTS.

@@AllAboutCarzz thanks bout to right now

@@TruNorth88 hope this help

Thank you 😊 don’t forget to check out some of my other videos on this car 🚗

I will check now

It seems like they sold out, I had it in the description from ebay.com

Do you have a receipt with the brand/part number?@@AllAboutCarzz

Hello thank you 🙏 for watching- How may I help? I know this is a huge problem.

Replaced twice on my 13 XTS, now passenger side went out again. Even used those expensive dealer struts. Thinking about going strutmaster this time.

@@tipdog36 I just tried a regular brand, let’s see how they do. Thank you 😊

@@tipdog36 I did strutmastets after a failed attempt with acdelco number matching struts… the guy who put my strutmasters on jacked up my car even worse…. This caddie 2015 XTS has been a complete nightmare ever since I got it almost 4 years ago

Thank you so much 😊 Cadillac biggest problems.

@@AllAboutCarzz So are you supposed to tighten the bolt AFTER it's back on the ground?

@@LaserMade84 sure

My pleasure 😇 hope it save a lot of people $$$$

Hey man - so far so good 😊 they are working

​@@AllAboutCarzzdoes the car actually ride smooth? I have an XTS and it rides miles worse than my 2008 buick and its really upsetting

@@untamablewolf it ride very smooth and with no noise that’s an additional benefit, thank you 😊

Thank you @artgalvanjr994

Hello thank you 🙏 for watching - I didn’t pay to do it so no labor cost but as the parts are concern I bought two front shocks on eBay for $177.65 and it took about 1 hour and half. I will put the link for the two front shocks in the description.

Just a very noisy

Just a very noisy knocking sound every time I go over some bumps or uneven pavements, these cars have this problems. I replaced all 4 check out my other videos about them, thanks 🙏

Thanks. I'm gonna get mines changed and hopefully it fix the noise issue. It's very clunky every time I accelerate and when I come to a stop.

@@ReggieHammond68 yes, while you are at it, take a look at the 4 motor mounts. I changed all 4 of them and put up some videos.

Extremely impressed with your repair, mainly the attention to all the details and not skipping any steps in your instructional is on POINT in your video! Subscribed! I am going to be getting one of the XTS and have not driven it yet.. just curious how many miles you were at on the vehicle you were replacing suspension on…? I see in some of the comments clunking sounds when taking off sounds like was one of the indicators of worn out suspension. On a Land Rover I had the lower A arm rear bushings worn out which were main cause for clunking when taking off from stop. Have you or any others noticed that on the XTS?

I not sure 🤔 thank you

So far so good 😊 thank you

It has been 8 months so far.

@@AllAboutCarzz I appreciate that quick response, I had to change out my rear control arms on my AWD xts, went to get an alignment which was gonna cost $300, all for them to tell me…I need a drivers side inner and outter tie rod and two New Front struts in order for them to do a proper alignment 🙄. So im ordering these struts, tie rods and sway link ends.

Hey 😊thought I would give you an update on the struts, they are still holding up.

@@AllAboutCarzz hey I appreciate your response Bro, I purchased them and put them on my self, they feel good, only thing is I noticed that the front end rides a tad lower then OEM stunts, have u had this experience?

@@AllAboutCarzz ok thanks

@@AllAboutCarzz is that it?

@@cryptorichnell6831 yes

It’s listed in the description, thanks

I replaced both front with the wrong struts gm wanted 800 each can't afford to do that

Virginia, but I can’t help right now

I’m a limo driver and just haveing a ruff time and I don’t want to pay a mechanic to do something I can probably do it myself. I have mechanical skills I just need to replace shocks and ball joints and maybe upper control arm bushings. Please consider this I can’t afford mechanic it’s to expensive for me I have a family.

@@soni727 if you have mechanical skills, you should have no problem 😉 good luck 🍀 and thank you

I know that, but I am showing how I did it and I also changed the entire alignment screws. Thank you

Yes

Thank you so much 😊
