Review: Installed on 2005 Deville - At 62,000 miles one of the orginial air shocks was leaking. These shocks are a perfect replacement. They are not the shock with embedded electronics, just the self-leveling air shock on the 'base' suspension of a Cadillac. The top is a little larger than the stock shock, but they do not hit anything. The air connector/nipple is an exact fit. I jacked up one side, put a barrel jack under the suspension to 'unload' the shock. The top nut is in the trunk, under the 'carpet', with a rubber cover that pulls off. There are two bolts on the bottom. Very easy to remove and reinstall. The air line unclips. At this price, they are much, much less than stock shock price. The top mount is an elaborate rubber mount, and these do NOT come with a this replacement. But mine seemed in almost perfect shape and did not need replacement. I think this rubber mount can be bought for about $25 (each?) if yours has been deformed. The ride seems about the same as stock. Some comments on a replacement shock say it is much more stiff, but I feel these are about the same as stock.
Review: Great Replacement - Great fit & replacement. Much smoother ride. Easy to install. Appear to be very good quality for the price.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are these front or rear shocks?**
A: These are rear shocks and are air adjustable.

**Q: does this item come as a pair for 62.42**
A: Yes, it is a pair, and they are good shocks.

**Q: Simple but vital question, on this Monroe MA822 Max-Air model shock, are the air pressure intake ports on each shock THREADED or PUSH-ON connection?**
A: The only way push won't fit is if someone replaced the factory shocks and connectors.  Ac Delco stopped making the shocks and sells rebranded Gabriel hijacker with the Ac Delco sticker.  They call and sell them as Oem but they are not they have screw on connectors and in addition 25 vs 15 psi minimum pressure. They require and include a spring which will cause the factory system to do this.

**Q: are those air rides shocks**
A: Yes, they are air ride shocks. They are a perfect replacement for the original factory rear shocks on my 2002 Buick Lesabre. Took maybe 45 minutes to replace the pair. Even the factory air line fitting fit the shocks perfectly. Saved a fortune compared to the factory shocks.

Great fit & replacement. Much smoother ride. Easy to install. Appear to be very good quality for the price.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ DIY so easy, cavemen can do it.
*by A***Y on May 29, 2018*

I have to say this, before I did the job on this I have never changed shocks before. I've seen people have issues where it will extend and then they can't force it back down or something else randomly happens. Anyways. The shocks come with 2 aftermarket nuts and thicker bolts than oem. The caps that come with them are also a hell of a lot better than factory as well. Grip better, don't bow out as much and it's so easy to get everything in place. These shocks are a DIY dream. The ride quality is amazing with these too. Very smooth. Good response and even compensates for the undulating cloud suspension that Buick's have. Most minor stuff you won't even feel it, you'll hear the tires run it over but that's it. These shocks were a blessing and I can't wait to get a front set as well.
