Hi Guys,
My first post. I have an 09 Denali Hybrid that has a loud squeaking sound coming from the shocks. It's my wife's car but a few weeks ago I drove it and almost soiled my pants when hitting normal uneven pavement on the interstate doing about 75. The thing felt like it was going to flip from rocking back and forth. I had to slow down to about 60 just to feel safe. Needless to say, we grounded the car that day! A mechanic said the front shocks were completely gonzo.
So being pretty handy, I bought some regular strut/springs with the override resistor. No problem, got out the tools, open the hood and wth!...there's a giant box over the left shock, later found out that's the inverter with lots of unhealthy voltage pumping through.
My question:
Has anyone successfully changed their front shocks? Can it be done from underneath the wheel well so you don't have to mess with the inverter? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
