SUSPENSION
AT 36,000 MILES I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A TICKING SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT END WHEN I TURNED. THE SAID THEY REPLACED A BROKEN PIN IN THE STEERING BOX. EIGHT MONTHS LATER I BEGAN TO HEAR A OCCASIONAL GROWLING NOISE WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT ON CURVES AT SPEEDS ABOVE 45 MPH. I ALSO BEGAN HEARING THE TICKING NOISE AGAIN WHEN MAKING TURNS AT LOW SPEEDS. IT COST ME 600.00 TO HAVE THE DRIVERS SIDE BEARING REPLACED. I ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT TIRES FOR UNEVEN WEAR. I HAVE TALKED TO 3 OTHER INDIVIDUALS THAT OWN THIS TRUCK ( 04 -06) AND THEY HAVE ALL HAD TO REPLACE THE WHEEL BEARING. GM HAS TO BE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE WHEEL BEARINGS DO NOT WEAR OUT THIS QUICKLY.
