Hello
I have a question about the replacement of the rear springs and shocks.
My 2001 Tahoe LT Z71 is equipped ZW7 G65.
For information
G65 = Level Control Manual, self adjusting (part of the Nivomat)
ZW7 = Chassis Package Premium Smooth Ride.
My problem is that a garage replaced my old original shock absorbers with a model Mopar Magneti Marelli (ref 1AMSH22042) unsuitable for option ZW7!
I replaced these Mopar shocks by original models ACDelco 580-354 but driving the Tahoe is very bad!
The "fleet" vehicle, the steering is vague, driving is dangerous!
I wonder the garage has replaced the original coils springs by one other?
So, i decided to replace the system ZW7 by a "normal" suspension.
To the rear, I bought shocks RANCHO model RS5262 (RS5000 series) and springs 81069 MOOG (Rate Constant Spring), with insulation Helical spring MOOG K160072 (# 15765071).
To the front, I bought shocks RANCHO model RS5265 (RS5000 Series).
QUESTION to SPECIALISTS:
My choice Springs 81069 MOOG (Rate Constant Spring) with shock absorbers RANCHO RS5262 model it is coherent (it is OK?)?
Thank you in advance for your answers.
Best regards
