I would think I can get away with ordering only the shock absorbers, rather than entire struts. Is that presumption correct, considering that the ZL1 has the magnetorheological suspension?

Are the 22737724 and 22809066 the correct part numbers? Do I need any other parts when replacing the suspension?





Have the new shock absorbers been revised so that they do not leak after only ~40,000 miles any more?

Coupe is FE5. Compressing is nothing compared to what you will do to get the rears out, (I have done mine three times and only have 21k miles). Be aware that whomever you get them from be sure to verify they are an approved reseller from AC/Delco as the part now carries Limited lifetime warranty to the original owner.
