    Cv axle issues on lifted tahoe

    I have a 2005 Tahoe on a 6-inch lift and the cv axles I use keep breaking. It's only the driver's side axle and before it breaks it makes a clicking sound and sort of jerks the truck when the wheel is turned until the axle breaks. Does anybody have any idea what the problem could be? Should I...

    I have a 2003 Tahoe, it has been leveled and had nearly every steering/suspension component replaced over time. I've been having a steering problem since I bought the truck that hasn't gone away through various alignments from different shops. The truck drives fine in a straight line, but the...

    Suspension Puzzle

    2000 Tahoe Z71 4x4, 5.7 with torsion suspension. I am having a problem that seems so ridiculous that I figure the solution must be staring me right in the face. I am wanting to replace control arms, ball joints, swing arm and shocks. My stock lower control arms have a pronged shock mount for a...

    So I have a 04 Denali that I've had for a few years and always wanted to lower. The rear air shocks I don't want. Pump burned out not long after being replaced probably as I have not heard it cycle on for quite a while. But Ive looked at the forum numerous times whenever I wanted a question...

    Suspension help on leveled tahoe

    I got the rough country 2” lift/ leveling kit with keys up front and the small 1-2” spacers in the back. I do not like the spacers. Seems noisy. Will the bilstein 199021 give me that extra “lift” I need to make it look right without the spacer. and I’d liked to swap all my RC shocks with...

    So I wanted to make the wisest choice when choosing how to utilize my tax money the gov sent back to me for round 1 of the "Economic Recovery"; so of course I chose to put a 6" lift on my 06 Yukon Denali. I know of no better way to use tax monies. So here's the issue... Job finished in Feb and...

    Do shops generally charge more to front end align a lifted truck?

    I just got new tires on my 2001 Tahoe and there was uneven wear on the fronts so I want to get an alignment before driving much. I have 2.5 inch spacers out back and the torsion bars turned up in the front. I've had bad experiences with alignment shops in the past with different vehicles...

    2001 Tahoe 2wd steering wander

    I’ve searched all forums for an answer that would solve my wandering issue. I have a 2001 Tahoe Lt 2wd that seems to steer on its own left to right which I saw is what’s called wandering or walking. After searching for what seems like months, I’ve replaced damn near the entire suspension...

    I just bought a 02 tahoe z71 with 126k miles on it, and I noticed it leaned to the drivers side of the truck initially by almost 2 inches if I remember right... I looked around what I could do. Adjusted the keys to full max lift on the drivers side and fully max low on the passengers side and...

    Silverado Lift on Tahoe front?

    I have seen a couple of Tahoes around my parts with a 7-inch MaxTrac lift kit (which only comes in a Silverado style) for the front. My 4x4 Tahoe has a Rough Country 7.5-inch lift but I like the SHOWOFF chrome front diff drop. The SHOWOFF lift kit for a Tahoe is about 1200 dollars more than the...

    Replace A-arms complete vs. bushings only?

    I’ll be replacing all the front bushings for the A arms as well as the ball joints soon. Only 60k miles, but they were hard miles apparently. My question is, will there be any difference in performance or durability depending on whether I replace the control arms entirely with new OEM or Moog vs...

    Need help to replace Front and back MRC on 2016 Yukon Denali

    First off, I am very much a novice at suspension, so I apologize if I mix up terminology, etc. I'm really just overwhelmed with the options and the multitude of part numbers available for a 2016 Yukon and I have no idea where to start. I'm at 63k miles and things are so stiff it often feels...

    Looking for replacement air bag recommendations for my 08 Denali

    Any recommendations? I don't think the whole system needs replaced, compressor works fine, just the bags are tore up... but more than willing to hear any tips. I do use her for off road and hauling so definitely needing something tough.

    2015 Yukon Denali Rough Ride

    In January of this year, I went for an oil change and dealer found a leaky front right strut so they replaced. I quickly found out how expensive MRC is. My tires were also due and I got replacements, Bridgestone Dueler HL 20". All 4 were due. COVID hit and I didn't drive my truck for a while...

    2007 2wd 3.5" RC UCAs/UCA pockets/alignment

    Hi y'all! So I got a 3.5" RC kit installed on the '07, love the look and have no issues running 33x12.5's on 20x10 with -19 offset. However, when it comes to alignment, with stock struts and spacers installed within the kit, the toe is straight (it drives straight) but the caster has no room...

    Newbie, here. Needing guidance.

    Hey guys, glad to be here! I'm hoping to find some help here as my Google searches are coming up fruitless. Long story short, I'm expanding my family to 5 and my trusty old 2004 Trailblazer (which I've had for 13 years) just isn't going to cut it. So I'm wanting to expand into a 07-14...
