    Hello everyone! So I was just working on removing the transmission from my 04 envoy xl, and it came time to remove the rear driveshaft. Its setup with the rear tires on ramps and frontend on jackstands. I went back there and discovered the right strut spring is busted, being displaced from its...

    Hello when i bought this truck someone had already replaced the stock struts with a heavy duty set and they are much to stiff. Im looking for something definitely softer. What would you prefer? I dont do much towing.

    I own a 2006 Trailblazer LT 4.2L 4WD. I'm looking to put some premium shocks/struts in the front as my family loves the size and comfort of the suv. Any new products people are putting in their trailblazers for front suspensions? New guy here :)

    Have an 03 TB with 151k miles on it. About 5 years ago I had the lower control arm brackets replaced. Fast forward to this week, and I went to check out the alignment of the tires because there was some uneven wear on the tires (ended up having to replace them). The alignment guy said he...

    I have an 05 SLE 2wd, Envoy. I am attempting to replace the shocks and struts on, discovered I have Bilstein Shocks and struts. Is this OEM or aftermarket, and what should I replace them with to achieve the original ride and height, confused. Help!

    Hello gentlemen and ladies… I'm a new/recent owner of a 2008 Trailblazer and new to the forum…glad I found you. I'm inclined to do most of my own repairs and maintenance, but need lots of sound advice given that I haven't turned a single wrench on her to date. So...I'm pretty certain I need...

    Hi. My 03 envoy has 170k and original struts. Do I keep the springs or buy the combo strut set with springs? It looks easier to change with the springs already on. I assume i can rent the compression tool at Autozone. My concern is the new springs could be sub standard. Now, are Sensen...

  9. The "How-To" and DIY Section
    Hello All, Anyone know or have a walk through for replacing the front struts and rear shocks on a 2002 Envoy? I am also having some issues deciding what to go with. See below. I recently purchased an 2002 Envoy SLT with 135k on it. I have redone all four rotors and pads, all new BFG All...

    So I got board at work and found coils that were about the same size as the stock tb springs but heavier. They are for the 04 to I believe 07 f150 4x. I ended up getting 2.5 inches out of them (mine really sagged) but I really had to compress them to get em in so tomorrow I may take them back...

    So I came to this website looking for answers during my recent strut/shock install and didn't really find what I was looking for. Luckily, a random note on the manufacturer's website helped clear things up and I want to share in case anybody else has the same question. Car: 2006 Chevrolet...

    Hi folks, Been doing some research on upgrading/replacing components on my wife's '04 Envoy SLE (non-XL, I6, no air suspension). Chief complaint is, after 75k miles, that the truck "wallows" over bumps, particularly, say, going in/out a parking apron unevenly. This is the wife's winter ride -...

    Well, the TB's got around 64,000 miles and the ride's getting a little mushy... it feels like I'm driving a waterbed. All that bouncing around makes my passengers think I'm a crappy driver, and I will not stand for that. :no: I ordered the Bilstein shocks from Shockwarehouse a few days ago...

    I've found complete front strut assemblies (springs, mounting hardware, the works ready to install) from a wholesale parts supplier called "Prime Choice" and I wanted to know if anyone had ever bought their units and installed them? If so, how have they performed? their units are priced at...
