Me again!!
Yes they do and I greased them all to add from what was there from the factory. I just got a new master cylinder in so I’m going to now do process of elimination. Hopefully the MC does the trick… or not then a new brake booster. I mean hell… all else has been replaced! What did you do all...- Livebai8

Me again!!
I ended up replacing all four calipers, pads, and rubber brake hoses. I’m still getting the drag on the brakes… but it’s not all the time I drive. I’ve done the brake pedal test and check the check valve on the booster. There are no signs of the booster or the master cylinder “leaking” but see...- Livebai8

Front Brake hose replacement
Ok fellas… i got my front and rear calipers and brake pads along with new rubber hoses on all corners. I’ve bled all four corners and burped the ABS system about ten times… I am still having the brake stage but not all the time. Case in point today, I left the house and all was good but when I...- Livebai8

Front Brake hose replacement
Unfortunately, I’m todays “economy!” I can only do fronts. I’ll get to the rears pretty soon though! I can definitely bleed the rears when I do the fronts. Thanks guys!- Livebai8

Front Brake hose replacement
Quick question… I’m about to replace the rubber brake hoses on my 02 Tahoe LS 4x4… when I’m done, can I bleed just the front brakes or do I need to bleed all four starting from the right rear? Reason I ask… a YouTube vid showed just the fronts being bled after changing the lines out. Thanks!- Livebai8

Bad popping/thumping noise from front end, 2006 Tahoe
I wasn’t aware of those bushings… but I could/can feel mine is in the front wheel area. Hub is new although it sat for about a year before I put it on- Livebai8

Bad popping/thumping noise from front end, 2006 Tahoe
Mine might be ballpoint related…my helper recently advised me he didn’t know that the stem needed to travel a certain direction. I’m hearing/feeling the clunk when i reverse from left to right. Ill see what i come up with without my helper!!- Livebai8

Bad popping/thumping noise from front end, 2006 Tahoe
Hey fellas… it’s been a while since I’ve been on here. I have a 2002 Tahoe with a similar issue. I have a squeak when driving after I replaced the sway bar bushings… I know I have a bad shock but it makes a different noise. I changed the short axles. Ball joints etc on both sides. Do y’all think...- Livebai8

Brake bleeding
Ok...old post I started but now I changed my front brakes. Did the one man bleed on rears and all came out fine...no bubbles either side. I get to the passenger front side and very little thru the tube although the bleeder has fluid coming out. Tried self bleed, then two man and hardly anything...- Livebai8

Brake issues after new front calipers
I'm in the middle of doing my front brakes on my Tahoe. My issue is 8 can't get the rotor to turn by hand after assembly unless I loosen the slide pins. Is this expected and then changes once the fluid line is reconnected and bled? I bought the a.c. Delco rotors and pads for my truck and...- Livebai8

02 ignition issues...still!
Well...after wrecking my brain about the ignition switch I ordered from RA...i realised the only "real" thing I hadnt done was give the ole starter a light tap or two like my pop taught me as a kiddo...so I tried that and I'll be damned if it didn't start right right up...guess this rig will get...- Livebai8
