About this product

ACDelco Gold (Professional) Premium Gas Charged Struts are a high quality alternative to Original Equipment (OE) parts. These struts are custom-tuned, and nitrogen gas charged with a quality twin-tube passive design to optimize vehicle comfort and performance. Featuring Road Response Valving Technology, gas charged struts automatically adjust to help provide comfort and extra control by responding to dynamic driving situations during normal road conditions and improving handling under many extreme road conditions. For additional performance and safety features, these struts have sintered iron pistons, a leak-resistant piston seal, and a super-finished chromed piston rod. These struts have been carefully tested to ensure proper performance and fit per necessary applications. ACDelco Gold (Professional) parts are manufactured to meet your expectations for fit, form, and function, making them a smart choice for General Motors vehicles, as well as most makes and models, including special applications. These high-quality parts are backed by General Motors. Some ACDelco Gold parts may have formerly appeared as ACDelco Professional.

  • 1-3/8 inch bore piston with sintered iron construction for durability and longer service life
  • Single lip oil seal to help minimize friction
  • Super-finished chromed piston rod reduces corrosion, helps ensure proper seal lubrication, provides a consistent wear surface, and assists in long product life
  • Precision engineered for top-of-the-line performance
  • Drawn over mandrel (DOM) pressure cylinder for high quality sealing properties and reduced internal friction to assist with longer product life
  • Gas charged for reduced fluid aeration, which can result in better response, less foaming, and more consistent control than most non-gas charged struts
  • Single lip piston rod seal is permanently lubricated for durability and low friction
  • O-ring hydraulic piston seal resulting in minimized piston blow-by and consistent control
  • Infinitely variable damping for on-demand control on all road conditions
  • Some ACDelco Gold parts may have formerly appeared as ACDelco Professional
  • Premium aftermarket replacement part
  • Manufactured to meet specifications for fit, form, and function for General Motors vehicles as well as most makes and models

Before purchasing and installing a premium gas charged strut, make sure it is the correct fit for your vehicle.

  • Leaking oil or wetness along the body of the shock or strut
  • Severely dented reservoir tube, bent or scratched piston rod
  • Broken, damaged, or missing mounting hardware
  • Cupped tire wear
  • Damaged strut body springs, seats, and bushings
  • Defective strut bearing or missing plate
  • Broken mounts, worn or missing bushings
  • Brakes
  • Tie rods
  • Ball joints
  • Tires

Uneven patches of wear on the edges of your tire can be a sign of weak ride control (shocks or struts). This wear, called cupping, appears as scalloped dips around the surface of the tread. Other signs it could be time to replace your shocks or struts include:

  • There is directional and steering wheel position instability
  • Your brakes pull
  • You notice worn or loose suspension or steering components
  • There is excessive nosedive while braking
  • Your vehicle has 'acceleration squat'
  • Your vehicle does not return to a neutral position
  • Your steering pulls
  • There is a strut mount or bearing noise
  • Your ride is harsh, bumpy or shaky
  • Your vehicle veers inside winds
  • Your vehicle bounces excessively
  • Your vehicle leans or sways while turning
  • Your vehicle bounces excessively after hitting a bump
  • Your vehicle bottoms out
  • If your vehicle's height seems lower than normal when measured
  • If you notice fluid leakage from your vehicle's shocks or struts
  • If your vehicle's shocks or struts have dented or heavily scratched housings or mounts

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Always consult the Vehicle Owner's Manual or an expert technician before making any repairs or adjustments.

Yes, though shocks and struts perform a similar function, they vary greatly in their design. Struts are an integral part of a vehicle's suspension system, providing structural support for the vehicle and, as such, are a safety subsystem. Shocks work separately from any structural function, simply absorbing and damping the bumps from the road.

Yes, all shocks and struts use hydraulic fluid (oil) to control damping. A gas charged shock or strut uses high-pressure nitrogen gas to reduce oil foaming during high-speed damping, and therefore maintains performance.

Yes, it is important to choose the correct shock or strut for your vehicle model and year, as well as for the location in the vehicle.

Yes, it is possible to do a quick check at home for wear on your vehicle's shocks or struts. You can look for any physical damage to the shock or strut housing or any leaking - this is especially common on rear units that tend to have stones kicked up by the front wheels. You can also perform a bounce test by taking each corner of the vehicle and pushing down hard. The corner should drop, rise and settle again. If the body continues to move up and down, there's a good chance your shocks need to be replaced. Though these home tests can indicate worn shocks or struts, it is also recommended that you take your vehicle to a qualified service technician and let them do a thorough inspection every 12 months or 12,000 miles (19312.128 kilometers).

Yes, if you are replacing your vehicle's struts. However, it is not necessary to get your vehicle aligned when replacing your vehicle's shocks unless there was or is a previous issue.
