[Shop-talk] GMC front suspension refresh

[Ronnie Day]

Some years ago we bought an ‘02 Suburban (2WD) with 102K on it. The
looseness of the front really bugged me until we replaced both the idler
and pitman arms. We also soon replaced one of the front unit bearings and
the shocks. The parts were OE except the shocks, IIRC. All that made a huge
difference in how the truck drove and felt. It now has around 185K on it
and is still pretty tight.

Look at RockAuto to compare OE and aftermarket prices.
