OBS Chevy Truck Handling Overhaul on the CHEAP 

Nice video. There are different sway bar sizes so it's understandable that they didn't include all the potential sizes. A tip for other on the pitman arm, loosen the nut and spray it before getting started then start the engine and go lock to lock a few times. often it will pop off without a puller.

This helped a lot. Affordable option For a truck that I didn't spend that much on that I only drive a few miles a week.

Had no reason to watch this except I enjoy your videos, you give good instructions. I enjoy the obs but your squarebody is what I'm here for since I have an 85 myself.

Rockauto sells same parts that local parts stores sell at nearly half the price. Have to pay for shipping but if you are getting a lot of parts in one order rockauto crushes prices. And you can get good stuff like moog acdelco raybestos bendix gabriel kyb Monroe.

That's a nice winter beater. 👌

been using 1aauto parts for a few years now and have had zero issues or complaints

You give my hope that i might be able to do this!! $200 bucks for all that seems fair! Hopefully i grab this before prices go up cause of uaw strike

Great video, I'm doing the exact same thing on my truck.

I believe in being able to grease your front end..I had to upgrade my 2006 Hyundai ..all the bushings dry rotted..it was worth the extra money to upgrade ..

You can add the grease fitting just drill and tap and insert zerk fitting!

This is cool as I am working on my OBS 2 door Yukon. Mine is original but pretty babied 217k miles and tracks perfect down the road but this upgrade looks needed considering almost 30 year old parts, though I am a "if it aint broke" kind of guy, I don't quite have your skills

Detroit axle makes a full bushing kit front to back for these trucks. Even after installing all of it, the common failure part is the steering box to get the slop out of the steering wheel.

the price of OBS trucks has gone up so much that its worth doing it right and completely fixing it, I redid my entire front end everything brand new think it was about 1200 in parts. Rides so good

Those green floor mats that he had the painted parts laying on look like they came out of a 1972 Chevy Impala Station Wagon.

Picked up a similar kit from amazon for 144 on amazon for black friday

Where is your shop located? Wish i had someone local who could straighten my OBS Suspension and steering out.

That thing is beautiful for a winter beater, lmao

Great video I have the same truck but 2 wheel drive and at over 390,000 miles mine is wore out big time it needs to be replaced but I don’t have a shop and tools for the job if I bought the kit how much would someone charge to install it you think??

Plus 1a auto has lifetime warranty on like everything. Their RMA Process is easy too.

I have the same fuvking problem with my 2001 1500 GMC Sierra 2 wheel drive version. I replaced tie rods wheel bearings all of them all 4 of them. Inner and outer sway bar lengths and bushings. All the tie rods inner an outer. Replaced, all the brakes 100% of the brakes on this truck was replaced, including a 100% of the emergency brake hardware. Everything was gutted and replaced with new stuff. Rotors, pads calipers, front and back. 4 brand new oxygen sensors. The frame was completely redone That was 3 grand by itself. Brand new drive shaft. Tune up spark plugs wires ran new coil packs. New battery new belts, new tensioner, pulley new alternator new power steering pump new lines. 4 new shocks new tires. And I did a couple other things to this truck. But you get the general idea. It still doesn't handle the way I want it to the handling is just not there. It improved drastically don't get me wrong. It's a big improvement but every time I take a corner. There's still a lot of body roll in the truck. My mechanic said my bump stops are all most touching the control arm and he was right. It is 1 inch from touching he said there in good shape but there worn out. Would replacing my coil springs in the front help the trucks handleing????

iIM GOING TO TRY DOING THIS ON MY TRUCK NEXT MONTH

Bushing size ?for sway bar

Ty

Are the TRQ parts any good? As far as reliability? I just ordered a radiator from them and the reviews are mixed. But I did use TRQ shocks and they ride really nice.

I like moog or pro-forged

How have they held up, its time for me to do my gmt420 Tahoe.

Plz send info on this complete kit need this for my 96 Chevy Tahoe

You didn’t change the lower control arm pivots. This is the root of all the problems with these old vehicles.

Moog ,gm genuine, ac delco ..

Hey bud I know this is a long shot and I know it's an old video but can you give me a list of all your stuff that you bought and plus can you tell me where you got those rims at I have a 6 lug and I like to put some nice rims on mine I like those if you could please I'd really appreciate you brother thank you very much

Hi how did you know which control arm went on what side?

Remember "the key is the nipple"

I can understand if you only drive your truck for a couple months out of the year but as a daily driver, don’t be cheap especially with these parts. This kit will most likely just ‘get you by’ til you can save up for something better.

What’s the link for the kit you bought

Got a link to the 1A video?

New LIFT KIT video is live check it out here! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dUaWl6DnjYo.htmlsi=ljpxQH4MJ3MH1JxH For discounts on truck parts check out Torch Off Road here Www.torchoffroad.com/truckandroll

What wheels are tires are you running?

Is been two years, how has it been?

What's the link for that kit?

I bought that kit for my ‘97. The ball joints and idler arm were already wore out after a year and normal street driving. Also, none of the parts come with grease fittings to grease the parts. Wouldn’t recommend this kit, I’d go with AC Delco or Moog for suspension parts.

drop link!

You gotta lift. I see that big ass hydraulic container

Link?

Those will be good for 3000 miles... 500 miles a year you might not care... 10000 miles a year you will be wishing you got some quality gear.

its now all for 353$

Any kit like that isn’t gonna last longer then a year if you drive your truck like a truck. Trq, Detroit diesel can’t think of the other 2 my dumbass has bought. Don’t be cheap spend the money mevotech txx

I would love to have that winter beater. But I will say one thing you get what you pay for, TRW all in one kit trash. TRW does make some good suspension parts, but their economy stuff 👎. These trucks nowadays are straight collector pieces, they need to be treated as such. Mevotech TTX for this truck is a must.

Love this shit
