    Anyone ever change out their steering rack bushings?

    Swapped bushing and it appears the low speed clunking/rattle sound is gone based on an evening of driving. I'll know for sure on Tuesday, because there is one area I drive that really exacerbated the noise. It is pretty interesting because the old one was still intact and somewhat pliable...

    Anyone ever change out their steering rack bushings?

    Thanks. New bushing gets here tomorrow, so I'll swap it sometime in the next few days and report back. 2009 Suburban LTZ with 4WD. I have never considered the front diff bushings. I will check them out when I swap the steering rack bushing. I don't know if it would matter, but it does have...

    Interesting - the ones delivered to me were Korea, it does not surprise me GM changes sources (for probably a variety of reasons). That makes it even more of a hit-or-miss. I believe the hub is solid on these, it's not like some FWD cars where the hub can be removed from the bearing. Once the...

    Timken SP500301 already bad

    I just went down this rabbit hole... Looks like finding any halfway decent hub bearing is a crap shoot. Timken has lots of fakes out there, so if you go Timken you have to buy from a legitimate supplier like RockAuto or the local auto parts store. Even the Amazon ones may be fake because...
