I recently took my 01 Chevy Tahoe LT 5.3L into a shop just to see what needs to be done and my results were a water pump, Lower left control arm pin for the camber caster, and brakes.
My question is does anyone know where I can get these items online for a great price? (Direct links would be great)

Mazi, www.rockauto.com is a good source for OEM as well as replacement parts. Just yesterday I ordered a rear door check for my Tahoe, $8. and change (Dorman) plus cheap shipping charges, OEM was $35.00 discounted price.
First, do you have any problems with your Tahoe PULLING especially to the left ? Just sounds strange, caster/camber is two separate adjustments. Big profit for Dealership.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/COMPLETE-KIT-eLine-Drilled-Slotted-Brake-Rotors-Ceramic-Pads-CEC-6606102/391941021227?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

exact kit i bought, but it only goes back to 04, so make sure they will work on your year. id hate for ya to get the wrong parts. like i said pm them on ebay, they reply pretty fast.

all the pics are stock photos, not what your buying, note the 5 lug holes, we need 6, but if its listed as a fit they fit.

it was cold and all i took was this one pic of anything installed. took lots of the junk i took off tho lol

not familiar with that brand, the r1's are made of good US steel, and dont really rust. thats the E line deal.

hands down the best brakes ive ever owned. im not a first time buyer either, they are on both my car and truck.

ive bought pads that cost a 100 bucks just for the fronts on my regal, they suck next to the R1's. local at autozone you'll spend 300 or more for crap really. china junk.

all im ever using for brakes is r1 stuff. new pads are really cheap too. for my car they were like 35 bucks for the fronts, 20 on the rears, i bought them a while back when i saw i was getting past the 1/2 way mark on the pads. better to have em on hand being they are so cheap. took 2 years to wear em 1/2 way down too. still stop as good as new.
