The supplier describes them as a replacement for the GM MagneRide rear strut and lists them under the numbers 25849149 for the rear left and 25849150 for the rear right. Both shocks are black. Easy Life Markets sells them together so the rear axle gets a matched pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMagneRide is not an ordinary damper. The fluid inside reacts to a magnetic field, and the car's control unit changes that field many times a second to make the shock firmer or softer as the road and your driving demand. It gives the CTS a calm ride and tight body control from the same hardware. The drawback is that a worn or leaking unit cannot be swapped for a plain shock without the car noticing. You need a part made for the system.

A fresh shock on one side and a tired one on the other gives the car uneven control across the axle, and that is most noticeable in exactly the situations where you want the suspension to be predictable. The two sides have also covered the same distance.
