i need to buy rear shocks the car has the self leveling suspension

how do i know if the car has or dosent have an Adaptive Damping System

i also tried cheking the price with the dealer he told me they cost 390.00 but i checked this online store they cost some where around 600.00

thanks

are you sure you need new shocks? i think you'll find most people here will say the shocks are bulletproof but that accumulators are subject to routine failure.as far as ads goes, if you have it you'll have a button in the center stack console.

i little late.
no buttons

im assuming they need replacement. i went to a local shop and they said it MIGHT need shocks?

i dont know how to determine in shock replacment is required.

i have read that some people replace the nitrogen cells or gas. i asked the shop about this and they said they didnt know about it.

This article describes the rear suspension. It's a bit detailed, but you'll get the idea...
