Shock Absorber used in Cadillac Escalade automobile is part of the suspension system used to reduce oscillations that are likely to cause discomfort while improving ride comfort. Through the hydraulic system, kinetic energy is converted to heat and this helps in reducing shock impulses hence enhancing control over harsh terrains. Throughout the years Cadillac Escalade has been using twin-tube and mono-tube shock absorbers in its vehicles. Twin-tube shocks can be seen, it is quite essential and simple in construction and can be made available in a gas charged option. While the shocks of good quality in a mono-tube design have better heat dissipation and performance, they can be installed in any direction. Others such as the Position Sensitive Damping (PSD) and magnetorheological dampers take the Cadillac Escalade's suspension to a higher level and provide adaptive control to the vehicle in relation to the driving conditions.

Cadillac Escalade Shock Absorber Parts Questions & Experts Answers
Q: How should you replace rear shock absorbers on Cadillac Escalade?
A: Those units are Electronically controlled LED shock absorbers which are part of the Autoride® system and must be replaced with compatible replacement shock absorbers. First of all, it is necessary to lift the car backward and put it on jack stands under the frame rails, having slackened the bolts of the suspension bracket; also to block the forward wheels in order that the car cannot roll. While this is not necessary, it will improve the access to the shock absorbers especially after removing the rear wheels. If the vehicle is fitted with a ride control system remove the electrical connector from the shock absorber and the air line as well. Place a floor jack underneath the rear axle tube that is closer to the shock absorber which is to be removed. Go further to take out the upper and lower mounting fasteners of the shock absorber, where, in some cases, a small press tool is used to push the stud out of the flange. After stripping off the shock absorber, you will make the necessary installations in the reverse order that was used in stripping; the fasteners should be tightened adequately to the required torque.
