The rest I will have...

So I finally got around to getting some quotes with itemized lists.
I told each shop that I needed pitman and idler arms replaced along with both control arms (which each come with their own socket joints). I asked for Moog Problem Solver everything, but Moog...
Alright, a little background...I am not a mechanic and never will be. I have done some research both here and the sister site (Tahoe Forum) where this will be posted as well, verbatim.
After an 800 mile trip, I had an oil change done to my '99 Tahoe and discovered that the boots were split...
