What happens if a problem is detected with an electronic strut?
What happens if a problem is detected with an electronic strut?
Electronically adjustable shocks and struts use conventional mono-tube and twin-tube oil-filled dampeners. The valves and solenoids can’t be serviced or separated from the shock or strut. If a problem is detected with the system, the valves go into a fail-safe position that is fixed, and the system becomes passive.
What is a passive shock absorber?
The passive suspension system limits the motion of the body and wheel by limiting their relative velocities to a rate that gives the required ride comfort. This is achieved by using some type of damping element placed between the body and the wheels of the vehicle, such as hydraulic shock absorber.
Is there a passive strut or shock conversion kit?
There are also passive strut and shock conversion kits available for vehicles equipped with electronic suspension. A passive strut or shock conversion will remove the electronic dampening feature and provide you with a much more reliable suspension system.

If that’s the route you want to take, we have these fully remanufactured OEM rear shocks by Arnott Industries, the industry leader in replacement air suspension components. They retain both the air ride and the electronic dampening features and are backed by a limited lifetime warranty.

Can you replace air shocks with gas shocks?
These will retain the air ride control but replace the problematic electronic dampening with standard gas shocks. They will be a little more reliable than OEM, still retain a nice ride with the rear air springs and are a little easier to install.
There are also passive strut and shock conversion kits available for vehicles equipped with electronic suspension. A passive strut or shock conversion will remove the electronic dampening feature and provide you with a much more reliable suspension system.

Are there aftermarket struts for electronic suspension?
An aftermarket electronic replacement strut will keep the computer-controlled suspension fully operational and uses either OEM quality new parts or rebuilt OEM parts with a full warranty. There are also passive strut and shock conversion kits available for vehicles equipped with electronic suspension.
