    2014 PPV Suspension

    How do you all diagnose problems/inspect worn parts on your vehicle? I'm at 105k miles so basically everything is at the recommended mileage to change for "Normal" usage but since this was a PPV it falls under the "Severe" usage of the owner's manual. My service history doesn't mention anything...

    2014 PPV Suspension

    Since I'm committed to fixing the PPV, would it be wise to change all the fluids and maybe get a tune up? @Shackman7878 was kind enough to get my Service History & RPO Codes. 1 Open Recall Product Safety Recall N212328800 N212328800 Front Passenger Airbag Takata Inflator - Priority Group 10...

    2014 PPV Suspension

    Definitely going to do the rear shocks myself and I agree with you on the quote, the tread isn't uneven on any tire so it's hard to believe everything needs to be replaced. The shocks are probably on their way out and these rough country roads aren't helping. What size wheels/tires are on...

    For the rear shocks, it'd actually be cheaper to buy them individually. 2 for $109.42 Any suggestions?

    2014 PPV Suspension

    I haven't gotten around to getting it lifted up for pictures but I will this week. After watching some YouTube videos, I feel comfortable enough to replace the rear shocks myself. But when looking up videos for 07-14 model, most videos only list 07-13 models. Here's an example of the rear shock...

    2014 PPV Suspension

    I haven't touched the engine block/suspension but I've replaced windshield motors, alternators, belts, O2 censors - all the easy top side stuff by watching youtube videos. I could probably tackle suspension but it seems easy to scuff and I don't have proper lifts. Just a few bottle jacks.

    2014 PPV Suspension

    I have to admit, I am sort of feeling some buyer's remorse. I expected to put money into the vehicle but mainly on interior and minor cosmestics. I bought a PPV since I knew they had strict mantainence schedules per the county and sell around 100k miles. Which I assumed I'd be safer than buying...

    Here are the two quotes I received, my mechanic suggested that the rear shocks were causing the issue but I also need to replace the front control arms, tie rods and struts. What do yall think and how should I proceed. Recommended Rear Shock Quote Suggested Repairs Quote

    Thank you, glad to have found a dedicated PPV section of the web. I've seen your name a lot in threads and dig the twins. Maybe once I get mine to where I want it to be, i'll look at buying another lol. I'll definitely have a mechanic look at the tie rods and bushings this Saturday also. Thank...

    2014 PPV Suspension

    Hi yall, I recently purchased a 2014 PPV with 100k miles, I love everything about it except it rides a little too rough. I've looked at multiple suspension threads but they all left me with more questions. Roughly, I need to swap the struts, coils and shocks but are all three failing or could I...
