Doesn't feel like warped rotors because steering wheel shakes from side to side!
Can someone help? Spending too much $$$$$
Any ideas?
I'm struggling to find the parts I'm looking to replace on my '95 Chev 3500 2wd. Quick story; the spare's winch cable rusted & broke, and allowed the wheel to jump up and knock the driver's side rear shock absorber. The impact broke the Shock Mount Bracket free from the rearmost cross member of the truck frame.
I've found replacement mounting brackets (small U-shaped piece of steel), but because the original bracket broke away, it will be difficult to (reliably) reattach the replacement.
I would like to replace the actual cross member component, but haven't had any luck with the GM dealership or general parts distributors.
Aside from the junkyard, any ideas on where I might be able to find what I'm looking for?
As far as I know, the frame might be the same on all 2500 & 3500 truck frames, between '89 and '98. If it comes down to the salvage yard, is there anything in particular I should look for/ avoid?
One other thing though, I think you could get a better price and service from a tire dealer rather than have the dealer do it. Some dealers have the tires subbed out to a tire dealer for installation and alignment rather than do it themselves.
Since I have a friend who owns a shop with an alignment machine, I have mine's checked within the first thousand miles just to be safe as it ultimately is your responsibility.
