Replying to: lykourinou (Feb 19, 2008 4:09 am) My SRX has a DOHC V8 and an independent rear suspension. It also does not have McPherson struts. The Escalade is a rebadged Chevy anyhow and not a real Cadillac.

Replying to: bumpy (Feb 19, 2008 9:13 am) It is a shock absorber that also contains the spring and is the action by which the wheel camber motion is controlled and is a structural component. A vehicle with an upper control arm and a lower control arm is not using a McPherson. Sure it is not the same as having the coil ride on the lower control arm but the camber action is driven by the control arms and therefore not a Mcpherson. |

I did find this:  Looks like some sort of Macpherson derivative with a pseudo-wishbone upper setup.
