Ive searched and cant find an answer. I looked at a 2001 Yukon SLT yesterday and on the test drive the rearend felt like it was bottoming out a little on bumps. It wasnt severe, just felt really firm compared to other vehicles. My DD is an SUV that rides very smooth. Anyway, I did some web research and found out about Autoride and it made me think about the possibility that some part of it could have failed on this Yukon.
I called the seller back, told him my concerns, and he only then admitted that the rear suspension was having "problems" on the Yukon and he had taken it to a local GM dealer, and that they had told him the air ride was broken, expensive to fix, and just to bolt regular shocks on it.
Im really interested in this SUV, its really clean, 2 owners, low miles, clean carfax, great maintenance records. After some haggling, the seller offered to drop 500 off the asking price due to the rear suspension problem. 112K mi on it and hes asking 5100 minus the 500, now 4600. I think thats a very good deal. I can install arnott? parts to fix the rear suspension
Anyway, my question. If it has rear air ride, Autoride I guess, does that mean it also has front air ride too and it will also need attention, or is the air suspension only on the rear? How can I tell if its on the front too?
Thanks for any help.
