What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

I know you'll keep an eye out for wear, do you have the spec sheet? Our trucks are supposed to be set for negative .10 degrees plus or minus .6 degrees. on camber.

I was looking up how to do this at home after a shop told me I need new ball joints. Before taking it in, we put a dial indicator on the ball joints and they were fine. These guys seemed legit so I will check them all again.

I don't have any way at home to measure any smaller than maybe 1/2 a degree, so I aimed for "0". Which, I'd say is plenty close enough, at least for now. It'll be a good while before I drive it enough to see any change (if any) in the tire wear. I want to replace the tie rod ends and either reseal or replace the steering rack as it has a small leak. Do you know off hand if there's a reseal kit for them? After those parts are replaced, I'll likely get a computerized laser alignment. I definitely wanna see the before and after numbers!

By the way, my camber scale is a length of angle iron with a magnetic Harbor Freight angle finder stuck to it, held against what I can only hope are perfectly perpendicular flats milled on the face of the wheel...

Love it, yes you can rebuild the rack with a kit from ACDelco.

Well that was super stressful and not fun at all. Three more to go, but glad to have the toughest one out of the way. View attachment 236203

I met GoofeyGuy this afternoon and bought the last pieces of Husky Weatherbeaters I needed to cover ALL the carpet in my truck. Now it can be winter with salt and all that BS, the dogs can ride with me now and I need not worry about the inside, as much....or atleast the floor
