    Bilstein and other suspension parts review

    I was told by the dealer that one was going out. This was reaffirmed after I told them that I would be using aftermarket parts and therefore not their service. I don't offload much but the roads here are so awful I practically do.

    New steering rack

    Anyone have to get a new steering rack? I'm getting some clunking and popping when I turn and with new tie-rods, struts, uca/ball-joints etc I'm seeing the rack as being the only other thing. I additional have about a 1/4-1/2 inch of play in the steering wheel without getting anything from the...

    Bilstein and other suspension parts review

    Here are the part numbers from RockAuto I got: MOOG ES800223 Tie Rods MOOG RK80669 UCA MOOG RK80670 UCA The reason for the changeout for ME... I had a bad balljoint on the passenger side. Since I was already getting new struts, the UCAs were being pulled, so I figured I'd do both since they...

    Need shock/strut suggestions

    I have a spacer kit on the front (1.5") and the Bilstein 5100s at stock height. The ride is greatly improved and I'd recommend them.

    Bilstein and other suspension parts review

    I got the Bilsteins online somewhere, I forget exactly where but it was around $350 for fronts and back. The tie rods and UCAs were from Rockauto and it was $180 or so. Install was done here in Texas and it was $300 including alignment. A note about the install: make sure when you pick up the...

    Rattle from Exterior Above Tail Light

    I have a rattle from the body piece above the drivers side tail light. I mentioned it to the dealer and their fix was "new part..." which is of course nice because it'd need to be painted as well. It only seems to rattle/buzz in particular cross-winds but when it does it's absolutely beyond...

    Troubleshooting a Vibration

    Thoughts on what could be causing this: I've got a 2008 Z71 4WD with a 1.5" level up front. I have a vibration in the the front that comes and goes with no relationship to road surface, wind direction, or speed. It feels like a slight shake in the steering wheel but is definitely...

    Interior Rattling

    I found a lot of the rattle came from the windows not seating properly when they were up. Take off the door panel (there's a DIY on here) and tighten up the bolt holding the window and that helps out for some rattles. As for dash, etc, don't know what else to suggest for you.

    Door lock actuator replacement DIY

    99, I had my driver's side door lock actuator go out this weekend and replaced it so I figured I'd write up a DIY. I didn't take any pics because I didn't think to while I was doing it, but hopefully the writeup will get you going in the right direction. Symptoms: Door will lock and...

    Bilstein 5100s

    99, Got a 2008 Z71 4x4. I'm coming up on about 63k miles and with the miles and the ranch hand brush guard I feel like the ride and control is getting a little wonky. I'm looking at getting some Bilstein 5100s, and through research most people have them but I can't really get a good fix...

    Level kit question for the guy who isn't adding bigger tires...

    99, I've been doing a lot of research on the different level kits through the forum here. I've seen the Pro-Comp, Rough Country, Ready Lift, etc and I am torn as to which one or even if I should put one on. My only goal out of this is to level the front end, I'm not putting larger tires (I...
