Last week while on a fill trip, I hit a patch of ice and rolled my 2010 Yukon XL Denali. I am pretty sure this vehicle saved our lives along with some help from above.

Question

My Suburban feels wobbily at times. Not sure how to explain it. Wobbily when turning corners. Is that a sign I should replace my shocks and springs?

I also want to upgrade to an LED cluster with a newer face. Not many options for a 2000 put there. Anyone know of a website that I can check out?

Thanks

Below are pics of the Yukon. All of my kids were in car seats and were all ok. My wife has a concussion and I ended up trapped in the driver's side for an hour with a large laceration to my hand cutting a tendon.

Looks like it protected you guys, for the most part. Other suvs may not have been as good.

I’d definitely get a dealer opinion. Maybe oil change with their “free” inspection to give you some direction on what’s going on.

Holy hell! That's a mess. Glad you're all still here to tell us about it.

I'm sure you know you need to get new car seats for the younglings, after a crash.

If your Suburban feels "top heavy", like it's swaying to the side when cornering, then it's either worn shocks, worn sway bar bushings, broken sway bar end links, or a combination. This is assuming it has proper tires inflated to proper pressure.

Yes, something like that.

Wow!!! Glad you guys made it out ok!! That is scary.

Yeah, as stated check shocks and sway bar end links and go from there on your issue with the 2000.
