How to Fix: Silverado 2500HD Front Suspension Rebuild (Link for rebuild kit in description⬇️) 

Great video - thanks for all the explanations! Shout out to all the wives that help out!!

The love that radiates towards your wife makes this video. Thank you❤

Thinking about doing this for my truck and was hesitant, watching you go through it has given me so much confidence and your energy is encouraging. Thank you for this video 👍

You did amazing with this video. I have a 2007 LBZ with 154,000 miles. I’m traveling in retirement and I’m going to do this front end job next year. I’ll save this video. Thx again

Great video thank you, I'm about to do the same front end rebuild on my 03 1500hd. Better then giving the dealership I'm guessing about 5k for parts and labor . I appreciate all the insights!

Awesome job, I've done plenty of these and you my friend did it to perfection with great narrative skills. Regarding upper control arms, a quick tip is to spray paint the cams prior to removal, then on reinstall you just line up the cams where the paint marks are, that gets you close. Thanks for your time and effort.

Just watched this video and thank you,I did just order the Detroit axle kit bit with the cv axels off of Amazon it was about 500 bucks.i should have it October 6th 2023 so next weekend.

Everything I needed. Well explained. Thank you sir

This one of the best repair videos I have seen. Great job!

that was so good im actually gonna subscribe! very in depth!!

Bro what a joy to watch im so going to do the same with my 04' Avalanche Thank you sir

You, sir, know how to make an informative video. Thank you!

Bout to do the same thing and rebuild all control arms with new delco bushings/ oem parts. Thank you for the great video!

Great video. I dig how you mentioned the size of the wrench/socket for each component.

Excellent video brother--nice work keeping the FastForward a good amount of time while slowing it down when further info is needed. I'm.doing nearly this exact same job on an '09 Silverado 3500HD this coming weekend and I'll have you right there with me. Thanks very much.

I feel better about doing the job now. Big thanks and I feel better about my left front tire.....it looks just like yours.

Subbed outstanding video, explained perfectly

Great video Sir. Thank you for making this and even more so, thank you for reminding me to be grateful to God during the entire process of the job.

Thank you brother. Great video!

On my 1998 silverado I replaced both hub bearings, the rotor and hub bearings are held together with the 8 wheel studs on each side. Other than that this video was very informative thank you!!

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I have to say that your explanations, editing, and speed video parts were great for getting to the point and showing key elements without a bunch of wasted BS video time! I am just getting ready to order a front-end rebuild kit from Detroit Axle, so this was perfect! Hubs were already recently replaced with Napa severe duty, so they're good. My 07 Duramax only has 120,000 on it, but my pitman and idler arms are toast, and the boots on the upper and lower ball joints are deteriorated... so I was gonna go ahead and get the kit with pitman, 2 piece idler, inner/outer tie rods, loaded upper arms, and lower ball joints. Also doing Bilstein shocks, and new drilled/slotted rotors and carbon pads at the same time. My truck sees as many miles towing a 17,000lb 5th wheel as it does empty! I have just a couple questions/ comments... I was originally thinking I'd completely disassemble and rebuild one side and then the other, vs. removing the whole drag link as an assembly and rebuilding it loose on the bench. Is it too hard to get the inner toe rods apart from the center link if it's still in the truck? I was wondering if that's why you removed it all together? Also, wouldn't it be easier to just put a floor jack under the end of the lower control arm and lift "slightly" to remove the shocks, vs. turning the torsion keys loose and having to try to "reset" the ride height of the truck? Just wondering if I was missing something! Oh yeah, I almost forgot to ask.... do you know if there's any way to determine if the truck has a 3 groove vs. a 4 groove pitman arm, without disassembling it first just to verify? Great video, and I'll be saving this to refer back to once I have all my parts! 👍

That's a very well done video 👍

Great video! You get to it. To the point.

Thanks for making the video! Just ordered my kit, which saved me a few $$ from buying something off rock auto.

Thank you, much appreciated

I have to do this same job on my 04 2500. I could do it myself but I work so much I don't have time. Saving up to take it to the shop.

Gotta do mine soon. Thanks.

I'm about to do this on my 06 2500 as well. This video helped me realize the headache I'm in for since I'm also doing the control arm bushings. Great video and thank you.

Great video by the way

Awesome video

Great video I’ve got a 05 LLY with 233k need to tackle this job

Yours is the best video I've seen, thank you! The only thing I'm doing different/ in addition, is replacing the lower arms as well. Other video's regarding that, is the torsion bars can be a bugger to remove! One thing I love about Chevy, is the design and parts stay rather consistent for many years! Mine is a 2008 6.0L 3500HD 4x4 DRW crew cab with a dump bed. Thanks again!

Amazing job here only thing I seen was tightening the brushing at while car is loaded

Good job brother

Just finished up replacing ball joint tie rod ends, next year new control arms for the 3/4 ,plow truck.

Thanks!

"My Lovely Bride" I refer to my wife as the MLB commissioner. I tell people, too many side projects and I get fined for out of contract play bt the MLB. Good stuff mate👍

10:25 I have a 97 k2500 suburban and the ball joint directions said to point the fitting towards the inside of the vehicle. Well, you can see the relief in the control arm where you installed it correctly. Impossible to grease the fitting as per my directions. Such a little thing caused a big PITA. Wish mine come apart like yours did!!

God is good. Thank you for the great video!

Good vid ! I just did my suburban and it was a long job. Never understood the plastic insert with the single hole on the camber guide cams. That fixes the camber and eliminates the capability of adjusting the camber. Mine on had 2 plastic guides on drivers side only. Not sure why

Best video yet!! Thanks!

Thank you for taking the time to share this. I'm looking to do the same to my 2004 2500. How are things holding up for you? Any issues with these parts?

Hey brother, great tutorial! To the point step-by-step, clear camera angles and i feel the 90% "how-to-do" commentary and 10% banter/chemistry with wifey struck a good balance. Quick question. 01 Silverado 2500hd 4x4 and just recieved that same detroit axle kit and one thing that drew my attention was how not so heavy duty the upper control arms at least appear to me by comparison to whats on the truck just like the one you replaced in the video. So i was curious if its just a looks can be decieving thing or if it is just a lighter duty swap?

Awesome video! Still kinda scared to try to tackle this by myself. But curious. How did the Detroit Axle parts hold up? Since this video was uploaded a year ago. Any update??

how is the Detroit axle ball joint holding up? Ive heard mixed reviews so far

I rebuilt my front end to however I replaced the whole front end with a solid axle swap

How r the parts holding up , i was skeptical of detroit axle. From all the mixed reviews, so i bought different parts

So what is the good, bad, and ugly on the Detroit Axle parts after 1 year of service. I am about to do the same job on my 2002 2500 and I am currently contemplating Detroit or Moog....

👍🏆

Hi there. How are the parts in this kit holding up? My 04 2500hd needs a front end refresh and im curious about how all the different kits hold up. Thanks!

Ok man how well did this kit end up ?? I see reviews saying parts last two weeks to one year then some great price and worked well ?? I’ve used tie rods that’s it before but nothing else so I’m worried about quality but don’t wanna spend tons of money on other parts

About how long did it take start to finish?

anyone know the torque spec for those wheel bearings? i cant find it in the manual, and google is giving me a bunch of different specs. literally doing this same rebuild

How has the Detroit axel front end held up since you put it on there.?

I now want an air chisel

How is the kit holding up? I bought mine recently but after looking at the reviews kinda makes me wanna buy moog parts.

How are the parts holding up ?

Are these ebay parts? And how did they hold up?

What kit did you use for this job?

How has the kit held up?

I would have probably gave up and just went and bought the whole new set everything new lol

How are those parts holding up after a year

Would it matter if my truck is 2wd?

How much did all that cost??

Great way to ruin the sector shaft on the gearbox hitting it with a air hammer

You didn't show tighten the torsion bar. They are people who only understand seeing someone else doing the exact way.

I am amazed you never pressure-washed the area you worked on , Detroit parts are not going to last , not watching whole video

if had say a bench vice and some proper wrenches you wouldn't need to jack hammer your stuff
