Rear Shocks

[YukonJacks]

Called the local stealership for a price on rear shocks, they quoted me 415.00 each. I have a 2000 Yukon SLT. Does that sound right. The original ones looked a little beefyer than the set Firestone put on awhile back, (I was out of town on a saturday with a broken shock) but 415 seems a little outrageous

Depends on what suspensions you have. If you have the premium ride suspension with the Nivomat shocks then yeah, replacements will be expensive. If you look around you can find the Nivomat shocks for under $300 each though.

From what I've read you can use regular (cheap) shocks but you would also need to swap out the springs for the non-premium ride springs for the proper ride characteristics. It's possible Firestone installed the wrong type on your Yukon.
