I am trying to compile a checklist for a fellow GMCer with handling problems.
Here's what I came up with so far.
-Check ALL steering components for wear and replace as necessary.
-Replace control arm bushings. Urethane in lowers and rubber in uppers using an offset bushing in the rear of the upper control arm to gain caster.
-Center steering gear.
-Check rear suspension bogie pins for wear. No more than a 1/16" of play.
-Check ride height. 12 7/8" to 13 3/8" to top of slot in front and 11 7/16" to 11 15/16 in rear.
-16" aluminum wheels
-225/75/16 tires with polyester sidewall not steel sidewall. 60 lbs air pressure front and back.
-KYB or Bilstein shocks
-Front alignment specs- As much positive caster (maybe 4 degrees) while maintaining 0 camber and 0 toe.
-Rear alignment specs- 0 camber and 0 toe
What have I missed?
I would love to hear your thoughts or corrections
Thanks
