    98 Yukon 4x4 steering wobble at 50+

    It's my daily driver and was pretty much all original, prices were considerably lower than they are now and I didn't want to revisit it, so I bit the bullet and changed it all. I'll keep my fingers crossed the idler fixes your issue

    Worst shipping ever. Almost everything I receive has Zero packaging and gets damaged.

    I would NOT recommmend Rockauto, their customer service sucks, they won't give you info you ask for, they won't tell you where they ship your parts from and most items arrive damaged. Have a nice day

    The problem is on me? What BS is that? Do you work for them? Their shipping is pathetic and 50% of the items I buy from them arrive damaged but it's on me?

    98 Yukon 4x4 steering wobble at 50+

    Re shaking, are the wheels balanced? If not you have some serious play and it will need more than a tie rod. Mine got dangerously bad. I replaced everything on the steering apart from the lower ball joints and lower control arm bushings as that was more than I could manage alone in a parking...

    Sorry to return with a rant, I was obviously upset yesterday, but I still stand by what I've said. Almost any and every heavy part I've purchased arrives beaten up, and often with holes in packaging and often the part has been hitting the ground. This is not an exaggeration. I've placed 25...

    Why would that make me unpack the compressor? I did take a decent look at it. But only noticed the damage when I saw the pulley wasn't spinning evenly. I've had loads damaged items from them. I haven't returned all of them. They even sent me a "new" battery that was at 11volts. You guys can...

    When they ship heavy or fragile items in retail packaging It's not surprising they get damaged. I've received items multiple times poorly packaged with holes on the shipping boxes. Can blame FEDEX all you want but if the items aren't packaged safely it doesn't matter who the carrier is, shit...

    Worst shipping ever. Almost everything I receive has Zero packaging and gets damaged.

    Was just about to install the AC compressor I bought last year and found the compressor clutch pulley has scuffs on it and does not spin evenly. The reason I did not install it last summer is RockAuto shipped me a condenser in the retail packaging that got damaged in shipping multiple times. Now...

    Terry towels

    I still use a chamois. Haven't found any drying cloth that works better. Those colored ones are too small. I like the grey ones I bought from Walmart I posted above.

    Oil on all 4 brakes!?!

    Sounds like someone doesn't like you. Couple years back I found oil on my DS rotor that looked like it was intentionally sprayed on it from the pattern on the inside pf the rim. I have a pretty good idea which ****** neighbor did it. Might want to keep an eye on it.

    Missing Ground Wire?

    Can fix that and improve grounding with a 48" cable from the battery terminal to the frame rail and an extended nut to fit the cable at the battery. Can buy both at autozone for about $20. My grounds are still intact but I have the parts to do it to mine to improve the grounding. But parts have...

    99 Tahoe 4WD Ground Strap Locations

    Would have been better to hook straight to the battery. Hope it works out for you.

    99 Tahoe 4WD Ground Strap Locations

    There are only two 'straps' that you already mentioned. The rear engine block to frame bolts in the same spot on the frame as the frame to firewall. It may have corroded or been removed. You can fix it with an extended bolt for the battery and running a 4' cable to the frame where the firewall...
