We just had new tires put on our Towpig. The truck is a 96 C3500 CC/LWB 454 with 129K.
It drives nicely and I do not hear any rattles or unusual suspension noises. I told the guys at Les Schwab to do an alignment also just as a preventative item. The truck drives pretty true and you don't have to herd it down the road. They just called and want to replace the following before doing the alignment -- Pitman Arm, Idler Arm, Upper Control Arms, and Control arm bushings. Total cost is $900. This seems a little out of whack to me considering how the truck drives loaded and unloaded.
I am going to lift up the truck tonight and check for slop in the front end -- any advice on what else to look for before I start ordering parts? Thanks guys!!
