Hey gang. Just picked up this baby...2005 Z71. Options include 4 blown shocks ,rusty bumpers, and the filthiest interior I've ever seen. But.. everything works ...has no warning lights lit , so I'm going to get her cleaned up and sorted out.

Welcome. Have any interior shots? Rusty bumpers are an easy fix--replace. They're not that expensive. Also--which shocks do you have? Should be listed on your rpo sheet in your glove box. How many miles?

172K miles. I'll have to check what shocks it came with. As I suspected tho , they were completely shot ,with the driver front completely collapsed and not doing anything. I replaced them with Bilstein yellows and did the sway bar bushings and end links while I was at it. Unfortunately , the upper arms need replacing as well. The alignment shop did what they could but its still wonky. I was going to go with the coated Mevotech arms from Rockauto.com . Gotta get all this sorted before I get rims/tires.


Before and after middle row. it was a lot of elbow grease but quite a transformation
