Let me know if this help 😊
Thank you for your video...I just did it my self.....I'm about to go get a alignment 👍👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏
Great job, thanks for sharing.
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?
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.
Thank you for sharing! I appreciate it! I have a 2015 with electronic struts, mine are worn causing horrible dampening characteristics and the strut top is worn out causing noise when the top of the strut tries to move around. Mine has right at 80k miles. Great video!
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.
great step by step with visuals. I think im ready to tackle it myself now.
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
I've replace mine twice already and the right front is bad again 134k miles n a 2013. Besides this crappy suspension...I do luv the car. Dealer wants $2500 just to replace the front. 1st 2 times warrenty paid for it.
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.
I still can't do it myself...but I'll watch the mechanic and make sure he does it correctly. I ordered a set on ebay....178.00 I'm nervous as hell
Good luck 🍀 I ordered my set from EBay also.
Nothing makes a mechanic hate you more than you hovering over him because youbwatched a CZcams video
@@REAPER3fitty that might be true, but there is nothing like CZcams University to the rescue 🛟
You make it look so easy
Appearance
Thanks for the video this is some good stuff bc i will need to replace my front Strut i have already change the rear
Be patient and you can. It is a pleasure to help, remember I have more videos on this channel about this car 🚗 good luck.
Excellent repair video.
Thank you 😊 appreciate it
What a talented and handyman. It’s so neat to see you working. My question is how do we know for sure to buy from eBay? May I add insurance (warranty) ? I got the same problem too
Hello @esnfa thank you - I buy from ebay and Amazon depending on cost and prior customer ratings, hope this helps.
Thank you dude for a great and precise video, very helpful.
Happy it help, thank you
Life saver my dude.. great vid
Thank you very much
Great job!!! That was a very good tutorial 😊
Thank you 🙏
thanks very good
GM biggest problem, thanks 😊
I have a 2016 Cadillac XTS and I believe I have the same I have a small leak in the front somewhere and my suspension
You might have the same problem I have a few more videos on these cars with some of its problems, thanks 🙏
Very helpful video 👍
Thank you 😊 don’t forget to check out some of my other videos on this car 🚗
Horrible things... they've broken twice! The cost 2600 to replace just the front! Unlike traditional shocks when old they just get soft and have no resistance these lock up and dont move what so ever! Thank you for making this video ill replace mine with the Monroe with by pass chip.
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 🍀
THANK you 👍
My pleasure 😇 hope it save a lot of people $$$$
Bought a full pack of front and back the back worked but the fronts would not fit into the the fitting that u easily slid in any recommendations on a new pair that will fit?
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 🍀
Only thing I would do is torque everything. Burned bearings up yrs ago dealer gave me the wrong torque on front bearing. Otherwise great
Thank you very much.
How much should a mechanic charge to do front only ..I already purchased shocks?? He wasn't 400 is that reasonable?
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.
Also what’s that blue plug called next to the ABS sensor
I don’t know 🤷♂️ but I think it is apart of the abs
I had mines replaced now it’s making chirping , squeaking sound while I drive.. any suggestions?
Wow. I never had that problem. Did you align it already?
I just had all 4 corners replaced and the car still rides rougher than expected? it's not clunking when i go over a bump anymore but I believe it should ride smoother than it does. any clue why that would be?
More upgrades on the shocks
Excellent video. I need this done on mine and am looking to source new struts, do you think eBay is a good start?😊
Hello thank you. Please look in the description I put the shocks I used.
Awesome!!
Thank you @artgalvanjr994
I like the video but what was the torque for the 🔩
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.
I had a buddy help me with this and the back now works as it should but the front does not raise at all? Any info?
Great job, but I don’t know 🤷♂️
What part number is this?. I can’t order the correct one
This is the part number that my car use - GM 84677093
Hey was your suspension making that cluncking sound before you replaced. Mine does and also has the suspension light on. It still ride good but o cant stand hearing that sound do u think will help me to. I feel it will. Hopefully u get back with me thanks
Hello 👋 my suspension was also noisy, here is a video to prove that -
czcams.com/users/shortsLpXO2_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
Do you know what suspension code the vehicle has? My wife just bought a 2014 XTS V sport. I ordered full struts and they aren't fitting the tube diameter is about two MM larger that than the OEM strut. A1 auto is where I ordered than from. They said it's part number. I even sanded and cleaned the inside of the knuckle where the strut slides in and sanded/deburred then end of the new strut. Where did you get your struts, do you remember the part number? Thanks.
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

My guy…. I need your help. I have a 2015 Cadillac XTS. Suspension has been a nightmare getting fixed properly!
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
Hey bro, how have these shocks/struts been for you ever since you put them in ? Im looking to buy the same set for the same car. Thanks !
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 😊
Arnt you suppose to tighten the axle nut after the car is back on the ground other than that great video
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
Anyone know if these work on a 2011 Buick lacrosse Cxs with hyper struts ?
Buick discontinued the oem hyper struts and my struts are bad
I not sure 🤔 thank you
Great detailed video
Any symptoms before this repair?
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!

How much will this job cost for parts and labor. And then break it down where you bought it and how long it took to arrive thanks
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.
Hello we’re do you live I need help I have a 2015 XTS
I have tools . Can you help
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
What’s the drill you use on your car?
DEWALT 20V MAX Cordless Drill and Impact Driver
@@AllAboutCarzz ok thanks
@@AllAboutCarzz is that it?
@@cryptorichnell6831 yes
How has those aftermarket struts been holding up?
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?
Where did you purchase the strut from ??
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
You didn't have to touch the alignment screws still would have came off
I know that, but I am showing how I did it and I also changed the entire alignment screws. Thank you
Are they electric?
Yes
Excellent repair video.
Thank you so much 😊
