obyone, I couldn't find anything there about the steering wheel vibration. I took the truck to the dealer and explained the problem. Just like I thought they didn't even test drive it, just handed me a GM bulletin about something called a ECCC. To make it short, the said it was normal. The steering wheel and gas pedal vibrates when the truck shifts at 45mph. If you want I could email you a copy of the bulletin, it's all mumbo jumbo to me.

'07 silverado leveling kit??? by b_radc80
Oct 31, 2007 (9:50 am)

I have an '07 1500 Z71 crew cab Silverado (new body style). I love the truck and the smooth ride but I hate the low front end look. I want the truck to look more "beefy" but keep that smooth ride and without getting a whole suspension lift, I heard their too stiff. I've been looking at leveling kits and was wondering if anyone had suggestions which are the most durable but keep that smooth stock ride. SOMEONE HELP! I see alot of '07's around town and I want to stand out "above" the crowd. THANKS!

RUSTED/BROKEN SPRING SHACKLES 2K SIERRA by shiftless1

I was very surprised when the right rear spring shackle broke from corrosion. Granted I live in New Hampshire but (7) years and (50,000) miles to have thick steel stamping rust completely through is un-believable. It's obvious the steel is below the basic low-carbon junk variety.
 
Has anyone on the forum had the same problem?
 
I have had good luck and performance from this 4wd, 2K, Sierra - but I could not justify purchasing another GM product knowing their poor quality on these safety issues.

Leveling Kit Issues by lilcorky

Just put a level kit in the front of 2004 2500HD Siverado. Lots of noise like thumping and rattling comming from the front now. Ride is not so bad. The bumper on the low a-arm is about 2 3/4 inches away from arm. From factory it touches the arm. Had it re-alinged. Drives fine just lots of noise. Anyone have this problem when they leveled their rig?

Sounds like a bad install or a defective kit. There shouldn't be any thumping or rattling from installing a leveling kit.

Your right and I found out today what the problem was. While working on rattles and sqeeks I decided the shock was the problem. I took it back to the shop were the levling kit was installed and they put it on the hoist and found out they hadn't tightened the lower shock bolt. Voila it is whisper quiet and rides very good. I'm aware of the a-arm issues. Time will tell I guess. Thanks for your reply.

leveling front end of 2007 silverado NBS by earachemyeye

Hey everyone, I've been thinking of leveling the front end of my truck. Has anyone done it on a new body style silverado Z71 4x4? Did you crank the torsion bars or use a leveling kit? Thanks
