It was much easier than I was expecting! I needed an extra set of hands and since its my exwifes truck she had the opportunity to get her hands dirty. It took 2 hours to do the whole job. I bet I could cut that in half if I had to do it again.

So it is the pitman arm and the steering gear box combo. Anyone have any tips as I will be doing the job on saturday? I only found the posts about doing the pitman arm. I need to change the gear as well. Thank you everyone in advance!

My 1996 has 304,250 miles and I drive it everyday.

It definitely rides better with some air in the bags than when they were empty. I originally stopped at a gas station to put in some air and it lifted up a foot with 30 psi but then it was real bouncy. Taking the pressure down made the ride definitely more compliant. I do believe my shocks to be...

Today I figured out what the real problem is. There are 2 leafs missing from each pack. I'm probably going to rely on the air helper as I do not have an extra $500 to buy new springs. I'm just quoting rock auto price.

They are definitely an air bag helper spring. I found the place to fill them and put in 10-12 lbs. of air and the suspension works alot better. They also seem to hold air okay as I haven't noticed it releasing at all over the last few hours anyway.

I will work on pictures, although it is raining today.

There is definitely some sort of airbag there. It has lines off each one but are hard to trace, I lose them after they go somewhere between the frame and body. The previous owner used it for towing due to the trailer brake controller still in the vehicle. Should I remove the airbags and see what...

Thank you

Does that mean my axle is currently sitting on the bumpstops? Shocks can give that much of a boost? Thank you for your help in advance!

This seems to be a stupid question but is there an air ride systems on a 96 hoe? It sure looks like airbags between the body and axle and they look flat and the truck hits bumps real hard in the back only. I hear no pump and I would hear it cuz my other car has air ride that works right.

Is there an adjustment on the steering gear?

I have 6000k in my lincoln continental. i found mine on ebay and installed myself cost me $59.99. When I purchased mine it was the bi-xenon hid's so it was more money. I was seeing low beam kits for $35. Bi-xenon is for vehicles with a low beam high beam in the same bulb. I'm willing to bet you...

I just bought a 1996 tahoe 4wd. Its going to be my drive it til it won't drive no more car. I am wondering if the slop can be adjusted out of my steering or should I be looking at part replacement? The tahoe has 304,000 miles so nothing is going to surprise me. The steering wheel goes roughly 45...

Hi everyone, Just bought a 96 tahoe. Looking forward to browsing for information.
