I think its bad, like all of it.

its broken off, and barely sticking out the other end. i loosened the other one all the way so both of them are as low as they can go. that thing is thick! looks about perfect, but i read someone else has a gap just like it and it rides fine, but they swapped out for bilstein shocks. maybe its been my shocks this whole time?

If you want just the bolt, you might try FB Marketplace/Craigslist for a truck getting parted out. Or a junkyard. These are not parts that typically go quickly. You can also look at those trucks to see how stock might should look, to better understand what you have. Finally, if the bolts are the same on both sides, pull the good bolt and take it to the parts store to get two new ones. Even if the bolts are $5 each (which they should NOT be), $10 going into your suspension is nothing. Also, see if you can determine the maker of your lift kit. Contact them and get information from them.

The seat heater is likely the control switch

Or the ground under the drivers side door forward. This ground can cause problems especially if random cycling becomes more often during wet weather.

ill check it out! im sure with all the water that gets in there its the ground. and i put stock keys in and it drives straight! but i need an alignment.

A little gap is normal but I saw yours and thought the same. The keys are wound up and you said it is lifted.

First off: What the hell is the year/make/model or are you under the false impression that ALL 2000 to 2006 GMT800's are the same?

Keep it stock and will save you money in the long run. I am not a fan of the lifted torsion bar/independent front suspensions.

Because of that gap, you may need new lower arm(s). Put some MOOG 81069 rear coil springs in it and some good Bilstein or KYB shocks on the rear and a set of matching on the front. I did the rear springs/shocks swap on my Z71 and could not be happier. Make the suspension and brakes primo and then do a Black Bear tune and you will get the seat of the pants feel you are looking for, especially if you do the Hellwig Performance bars, front and rear. See my build thread.

Like @S33k3r said, make a list and do them one at a time. Also, may be not cost effective to fix and in the long run is gonna be better to buy another one, whatever that may be, and start from there.

You did not say where you live. Are you in a salt on the roads state? You don't but the truck came from one of those states?

Do you have a link to your build? and those hellwigs are pricey lol. i noticed one of these are loose, i believe its the front suspension stabilizer shaft link. its the thing going straight up and down. and then i have a pic of this rubber thing on the lower control arm its smushed but im having trouble finding it. also, what do you think about hp tuner?

As far as steering problems have you ever replaced your steering centerlink?

The seat heater is likely the control switch my Denali did the same thing often people can clean it by removing it from the door and opening it up and using some contact cleaner (if I remember right) but I ended up getting a new one.

i have not, after going with stock keys its night and day, but a bit wobbly here and there, i figured because i need an alignment. and what is a steering centerlink?

Looks like this (this is not the one for your truck). I ask because it can be put in backwards which is impossible on a lot of other vehicles so people (me) assume it can only go in one way. The vehicle will still drive but it kinda acts like it is 4wd, as in wide turns bad ride, etc..

The "link" is one of the sway bar end links. The "smushed" thing is the lower ball joint.

For centerlink info, there is some good info in this thread:

03 Tahoe steering issue

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...
