Quick help on a road trip - Updated: Coolant System & Belt

[89Suburban]

Thanks for the responses and info, I appreciate it! Yea I mean I just drove the car to Florida and back from pa and put 2200 miles on it without any issues other than that vibration but it wasn’t there on the first 500 miles. I’m going to have the guy remove the wheel next rotation and check to be sure. I did get a print out and and they got the toe corrected so I assume it wasn’t a problem. If the tires weren’t almost brand new and if the wheel is bent I’d pull the trigger on new wheels and tires but just found out we are having a 5th kid so priorities just changed quickly! I think this guy said he added about 5-6oz. Half on one side and half on the other.

The arms seem fine. Luckily that top bolt is just a shield otherwise I would be more concerned for sure!

I like the garage setup by the way! Nice little work space! I cannot seem to keep mine in an orderly form with all the kids stuff lol.

Sounds good! You certainly have your hands full! That's my little escape/hiding hole there. Love my garage. Thanks.

Well I’m trying to slowly catch up on maintenance and I finally changed all the hoses, tees, thermostat and coolant today. It’s only been almost two years lol. I was most concerned about the tees but those things popped off in 15 secs each! Everything else went very smooth until it was time to put the lower radiator hose clamp over the new hose as I could NOT get my darn channel locks over it and move it on to the new hose. It took me way too long but finally got it with a neighbors old school hose clamp tool. Need less to say, I will be buying me some hose clamp tools moving forward.

Now I’m moving on to my other thread for the valve tick and tranny shift issue from 3-2. Just wanted to close this thread out!
