I would check for a failed(stuck closed) vent valve

Hey Rockdude, did you replace the whole bracket assy or press new LCA bushings in? I wonder if I can slide that bracket out without taking to much of the front end apart again.....

Upper and lower ball joints new moog as well as anti sway bar links. In fact, I disconnected the links and went for test drive, basically eliminating the links from the equation. I did replace the steering shaft and it improved some but I still have some rattle. I think you are correct, it...

Sooo. Ongoing, I replaced the axle disconnect. Came off pretty easy. Cracked it open and found it to be be pretty dry in the area of the outer bearing. I will rebuild at a later date. But I was quite disappointed when I test drove and STILL have the rattle. Now I'm getting pissed.: Back to...

I found the ATP on amazon to be the cheapest @320, but they are out of stock. I ordered one and will rebuild the one I am removing. They sell both units Good luck

Hey rs8892. I have been concentrating on the lh side. But when replacing my upper ball joints yesterday, I did notice some play in the RH CV joint tripot. Not as bad as the video I just watched. I would be surprised if that is what I am feeling. I'd swear its on the LH side somewhere...

It usually is most noticeable20 to 30 mph, hitting small imperfections in the road, it is felt in the steering wheel. Front end suspension, sway bar links, coil overs all pretty tight. Checked inner and outer tie rod Yes cv joint tight. Almost seems like the bushings at the steering rack are...

I have replaced everything but the lower control arm bushings. I know there was a TSB on the steering shaft. I have been looking for it. Can anyone post it ? Also, thinking outside of the box, could it be lh engine mount? I will soon know as I have the rough idle that goes away when shifting...

Had this same failure this past week. Noticed a fuel smell from the vents. More pronounced when stopped at a light. the fuel was leaking from the seam. 2004 XUV 102,000 miles. On another note, when researching fuel leaks on the Envoy, I find it strange that VA is not included in the extended...

My snap on 3/8"drive seemed to work ok. It is only torqued to what 24 ft/lbs? Did this today on the XUV. Just turning 100K.. I was surprised at how much metallic gunk filled the magnetic strip on the cover.

After traveling down the highway in heavy heavy rain my service 4WD light illuminated. I was unable to switch into AWD,4 hi or 4 low. It sounded like the front axle actuator was working, as was the encoder motor. So I thought. Found fuse 48 blown. Hmmm. Didn't really find anything so I...
