Hey Guys,
Im new here. Just purchased a used 02 Extreme ext cab. Although I have detailed service history for the vehicle, which is A+++ Im having a problem. Its got about 47000 mi on it. Im noticing a bad vibration from the rear at about 50-60 mph. Its covered under the used car warranty. SO I bought it back, had them balance the tires, which did not solve it. The mechanic put it back on the lift and said that all 4 shocks were bad (excessive bouncing noted by myself also) and the drive shaft carrier bearing was bad. Is this a good place to start and try and fix this problem? Are there any other things he should check? They seem pretty receptive to me and I dont think they are out to screw me, I trust this dealer. They also know Im not oblivious to working on cars. Shaould I ask about the U joints? Also they are going to replace them with cheaper Response NAPA shocks (they are doing all the work for free) do you think they will be OK for a while?
Thanks!! Great site you have here!!
