I'm Awesome
I've discovered that a part of the front loop on one of the leaf spring packs is apparently damaged. The loop doesn't go all the way around the bushing, part of it apparently broke off. I have no idea how this happened and most likely it happened before I bought the Tahoe.
This probably needs fixing soon, right? Can the missing bit be fabricated and welded on or do I need to buy a whole new set of leaf springs? (which otherwise appear to be in a good shape, the truck only has 100k miles on it).
I hope it can be fixed by welding, otherwise I'm looking at almost 400 Eur ($ 500 US) cost for a single leaf pack bought and shipped to Europe; and if I replace both sides (probably recommended with a 20 year old truck), then of course double that figure...
