Strut change?

[toma]

Looking into changing front struts and strut mounts on my 2018 AWD Premium Lacrosse... Dealer said they do not sell the full assembly and springs have been discontinued.

Anyone have any suggestions for aftermarket options.. I would like to get a fully loaded strut assembly all put together if anyone has done this recently... what did you go with? How did it work out?

Why do you need springs, is the car sagging?
Rockauto shows the struts both with and without real time damping without springs from GM.

Mine do not have real time dampening

I may not need springs but wanted a fully loaded assembly to make the diy job a little easier.

Don't think you will find that.

I had the same thing. Struts went out on mine at 49000k. Dealer said the same , not available as a unit. That was a year ago and could not get a pair of Delco struts ! I don't care for Delco struts anyway. I looked into KYB, they had complete units to match the suspension code. The dealer ordered them for me and put them on and aligned it. The front end settled down within 150 miles to factory ride height. Tech said no problem with aligning it, every setting was on spec. I can't do this work any longer, vertigo. You should also replace the mount bolts to the spindle, the are one time use. Very happy with them, handles perfect and ride is firm but not harsh. Something to look into.
