    Cost Question: To replace front suspension/steering linkages?

    Hi Kyle, I am with you and no I've babied the tahoe, mostly 99.5% street driving. I think my OCD may have gotten the best of me. 2/3 mechanics I consulted with said the tahoe doesn't need anything. I did get the stabilizer control arm bar links replaced. I think I should be good but will get...

    Cost Question: To replace front suspension/steering linkages?

    So I got a second opinion from Goodyear. They drove the hoe, put it up on the lift, tried shaking the wheels, they said was tight as hell(they were surprised there was absolutely no play)..didn't see anything obvious in the front end.. So then I asked specifically about what the other mechanic...

    Cost Question: To replace front suspension/steering linkages?

    thanks for the Claification Will. SunlitComet: Heard back from the mechanic and he said the control arm bushings and pitman arm looked fine....He said he didn't remember what the parts were but said the price difference for moog parts would be minimal. From reading your comment and all the...

    Cost Question: To replace front suspension/steering linkages?

    Thanks Will, where are you at? Are you including labor in your shop guesstimate? or just what the shop would have charged for the moog parts for a pretty complete refreshing of the front end? Thanks

    Dark Argent Fender Flare Oxidation

    I am pretty OCD and the flare that is the worst has some significant pitting, so it definitely will need to be sanded smooth. I am open to all suggestions but will certainly take it to a couple shops and see how much they would want to fix it and weigh the cost against touching it up...

    Cost Question: To replace front suspension/steering linkages?

    Thanks Sunlit, I think I am starting to become a Pain in the *** to the mechanic. I asked him if he recalled the condition of the pitman arms, whether the est. included Poly-E control arm bushings and if they were moog parts. LOL He is really going to like me now. thx again

    Cost Question: To replace front suspension/steering linkages?

    Hi SunlitComet, I asked the mechanic to email the estimate and the specifics of what would be replaced. When I get that I can be exact on what is included in the quote to see if it is consistent with what it should cost OR If I should replace anything additional while the parts are off. Thanks...
