Washed the Tahoe early today and gave it a Lucas Oil Slick Mist wipe down with the time change. Then paid it forward and washed our friends Kia Optima, who stayed with us overnight.

And then it rained....:oops: but at least the paint and wheels are clean and the water is just rolling off. :)

Took the Tahoe to my buddy's shop this morning to go over the alignment again. Have a very, very slight pull to the passenger side after the front wheel alignment a few weeks ago . Maybe not felt by Joe Public, but I can tell. And there is some bump steer. That has always been there.

My buddy had it on the rack for almost 2 hours and a test drive. $0 for the shop visit as it was still under warranty. So nothing out of pocket was a win for sure!

Everything is in spec in terms of tire wear. Same numbers as the other week I previously posted. We can get the number true to center across the board, but it won’t drive absolutely perfectly straight, have a wider turn radius or the wheel won’t return to center. So the numbers will stay where they are at.

I am splitting hairs here, as it is minor, but was worth a look just to make sure. The tires were balanced and rotated 2000 miles ago. All 4 brake temps after driving are the same. Not one wheels is super heating or dragging any components. So basically all is equal unless it is a tire issue?

And maybe new adjustable upper control arms and a better tie rod angle.
