Hey, After looking at westins website, I found that there is a one eight inch minimum clearance on the front body pocket mounts for the steps bracket, sure enough the installer did not follow this in the instructions for installing the tubes, I crawled under the truck the other day and loosend the steps and adjusted to specs, Then torqued to 74 foot pounds, and Voila no more creeks or noise.........Why did i pay someone to install these..........Damn

I have an '07 Classic Ext. Cab 2WD 6cyl with 6500 miles. I am taking it in for warranty work today. I have a vibration in the gas pedal that begins at 35mph. There is also a slight vibraton in the steering wheel at the same time. Just wanted to know if anyone else has had a similar problem.

new to the board. o4 silverado 4.8 extended cab. getting a vibration at 45 mph. dealer has checked and rechecked everything from tire balance to replacing the driveshaft. final determination was there isn't a cure except to run with 200-300 lbs of weight in the bed. any thoughts or suggestions?

Take it to a tire shop that has a hunter 9700 or better. Lots of these dealerships will send the tires out to rebalance and others will balance with older equipement. Do yourself a favor and have those tires checked out with a hunter machine.
 
Use this link to find a hunter near you.

How long ago did the vibration start? I had one that was doing the same and went thru the dealership 3 times.. they rebalanced the tires and even balanced them on a machine they called a road force balancer.. it moved the vibration up to start at 55mph then.. anyways took it to a old timer front end shop.. we took it for a ride and he came back to the shop put it up in the air then ran the truck with the wheels off the ground.. He pointed to my right rear tire.. It was slightly out of round and thats what the problem was. I had the tire replaced and its fine now.. hope that helps..

The vibration in the steering wheel and gas pedal are nearly 95% gone. I got the same run a round from the dealers, "not abnormal, they all do it, it's the step tubes causing it". I'm retired and have plenty of time to make myself a pain in the a** at the dealers. Finally they put a short piece of flex pipe on the exhaust.....no difference. Then they "just discovered" a fix for the vibration from GM. They installed two vibration dampeners on the exhaust system. (part no. 10199232)
Getting Chevrolet to honor the new vehicle warranty that I paid for in the price of the truck is like pulling teeth.

1998 Silverado with vibration..... by kyhiker65

Hey all
 I have a problem that I cannot get fixed. I have had the vehicle to the dealer 3 times and they cannot find the problem. Here are the symptoms.
  When I apply the brakes, the truck starts bouncing in the front end. I have replaced the rotors and brake pads and the ball joints are supposedly good. Had them checked out the last time in, and I was told they are ok. I have bought new upper and lower to replace the old ones, but was told it would be a waste of money.
 
 So I guess my question is, should I go ahead and have them replaced anyways, and also have the steering link replaced along with the front end bushings?? Anyone ever come across this problem??? The truck has 190K miles on it and the ball joints are the originals, but I do grease them, along with the rest of the lube points, with every oil change.

When was the last time you changed your shocks?
