I am considering buying a used 2004 Z71 that I found. I posted the VIN and AV Fox ran the VIS report for me. It lists the front shock absorbers as having been replaced twice and the intermediate steering shaft replaced 3 times in 40k miles. Is this unusual? the VIS report indicated that the truck did have an extended service contract, so maybe they were just getting them replaced while it was still under warranty. I just want to be sure I am not getting a lemon. I have included the claim history below. any insight would be appreciated!

Everyone has problems with the shafts...I would not be too worried about that.
