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

[Rocket Man]

Forgot to post yesterday. Got an alignment after the ball joint and upper control arm + Bilstein 5100 install. Much better

Much better for sure. How’s it drive now?

Drives great! Love the 5100’s! Nice and crisp after the double -ball joint fix on the pass side!

No "That's as close as we could get it" or "These things can only be brought close to spec" ?! You might need a second opinion and their equipment may be out of calibration.

Whatchoo talkin’ bout Willis..?

Had a few threads over the past few months where people were being told all kinds of BS when they took their GM trucks/SUVs in for an alignment. Some were slightly understandable (if just giving them the benefit of the doubt) since the vehicles had mildly modified suspensions. Others were total BS from the tech not knowing what he was doing.

Yes, I recall some of this myself. In fact, I’m pretty sure Tony ended up with the techs “losing” the sheet out the window and basically refusing to show the before / after printouts.

So what do you see wrong with this alignment?

Yes! I popped a BS flag on that one.

I see nothing wrong! I was being sarcastic in that yours, having such good results, must be a fluke or they fudged the numbers or their equipment is out of calibration. You know- since these things can't really be aligned.

Ah! Apologies, your facetiousness skimmed over my head. [emoji1787][emoji23]

I was wondering what you were expecting there! [emoji16][emoji631]

You forget who you’re talking to? Lol.

@iamdub is always in the edge between being facetious and being *****.

Have you had a chance to drive it for a bit and see if it made a difference?

Replacing my control arms made a big difference for sway (more of a YAW feeling) over bumps on the highway. I’ll probably replace the sway bar endlinks and bushings as well just to finish off the suspension refresh out back.
