What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

Did you put grease around the bleeders? That should help seal them there.

Yep, tried that too. I messed around over 3 hours total one day and after 2 hours the next day I gave up. Wasted a half gallon of fluid too and never got past the rear brakes. The old fashioned way with a hose submerged in fluid worked and I was done in a half hour total.

I finally drove it after doing the shocks, it still wallows on the highway when I hit a bump or dip. I think it handles worse now. When I say wallow, I mean it goes side to side a little after hitting a dip. To me it kind of feels like when the idler or pitman arm is bad. Both of them we're changed in 2012. I still have to dodo my bounce stops, but I really don't think that's going to fix my problem. Any opinions?

If your front jounce stops are bad your rig will handle like shit. Replace them before you even think about anything else. You might be amazed. They are a critical part of a torsion bar suspension.

Front jounce stops make a big difference.

Just found out the Nali is totalled...Bummed.

Maybe I'll look for an esky to replace it. I'd be happy with a clean low mileage burb too i suppose.

I'd like to stay in an NBS, wife wants something newer.

OK, I ordered them hopefully they'll be here soon. I'm really pissed about it. Thx guys.

Bad Jounce stops and sway bar links will make it ride real bad. The suspension is designed to ride on them.

That sucks man. Must have been a hard hit. No recourse for the deadbeat driver I assume. That's a tough call on the next truck. The nnbs have that dash cracking issue.. they are more finished look but I like my steel bumpers.

At least your family is safe, that's what matters the most!

Funny that you say that. I noticed my sway bar end links are a little worn. Bushings are cracked.
