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...
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...
