Question for you guys...
I have an ?04 Z71 with 135,000 miles on the clock.
I recently had the following work done:
New Inner and Outer Tie Rods
New Pitman Arm
New Steering Idler Arm
Alignment & Thrust Adjustment
New Drivers Side Wheel Hub
After getting my Avalanche back, I noticed a pronounced ?binding? when backing up to the right. To the extent that it has left tire marks in my driveway over the last couple weeks. This is not as pronounced as when I backup and go the other direction. Also, the vehicle does not back up easily. I have to give it gas to overcome this binding. It acts similar to how it would when making this movement with 4wd engaged but it is not engaged.
I took it back to my mechanic and explained what I was seeing. They noticed it as well. They looked at it but said everything appeared normal.
Anybody run into this before?
I?m looking at taking it to another shop for a look. However, the laundry list of items above is only a portion of the work it has needed in the last 6 months. May just be time to look into something different....
Thanks!
