2015 LTZ ride issues

[lbhagar]

I have a 2015 Tahoe LTZ that rides rough. It has 4,800 miles and 20" wheels. You feel every bump in the road and it feels like it's coming from the rear. So far he dealer has replaced multiple tires, the drive shaft and the rear differential. It seems as if the shocks are very stiff. Is this just my imagination, is there a suspension issue or is it a very stiff truck?

Some of the reviews I've seen about the trucks with the magnetic suspension commented on it being somewhat stiff. Mostly those comments were directed at vehicles with 22" wheels though. You may simply be more sensitive than others? What were you driving before?

Shocked that they replaced the drive shaft and differential for a rough ride..... they must have trained monkeys working as Techs.

My previous vehicle was a 2012 Yukon Denali. The differential was measured to have extra 'run out' in the ring gear, beyond specs.

Hmmm, well I hope they figure it out for you. The good news is that the dealer seems to be actively trying things to fix the problem. None of that, "we couldn't replicate the problem" crap.

I noticed that with the lt tahoe. I think these jus ride a lil rougher than the 02s. I thought it was jus the lt. Maybe I'll change the suspension. Had some after markets,put on my 02'denali non air shocks that rode,good as the air shocks if not better. But didn't tow anything thogh

My 2015 SLT has been feeling rougher and rougher. The ride used to feel baby smooth but now I am noticing every single dimple in the road. I have had the 4wd issue twice and both times they replaced something. I wonder if it may have something to do with the tranny. Either way I am getting an oil change in a few weeks and will have em look into it.

Oddly, I think our '15 Tahoe rides 10x smoother than our '07 Escalade. I chalk that up to the Caddy having the 22" low profile tires, whereas our Tahoe has the beefier 20's.

I got an appointment for next week. The service manager said they might have some ideas of what it is. They are gonna go for a ride with me. Thinking the air suspension is maxed out or something. Very stiff ride. Will report back

What tires do you have on there, they make a big difference and not all of them come with the same brand tires

Not sure but I have the stock 20's and I think the econ tires.

Just got a 2015 LT on 20s today. It rides very smooth. It's on mile 40 now. It's a much firmer but quoted ride than my previous Escalade. I love it. More control, less noise, less bounce and slightly less roll.

I had swapped my 02 denali air shocks out for some belltech and they rode jus ad good if not better with some general tires. Looking at gettin a lt which won't have the magnetic ride and putting the belltech a on them
