Parentnoia Posted May 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 (edited) Well I'm hoping that changing the brakes will stop the squealing, but if it was just the brakes, wouldnt I only hear the squealing when I brake, not anytime I'm coasting? And another issue I'm having is that the truck jerks to the right from time to time. It started with just the steering wheel doing it without the whole truck jerking, now you can feel the truck jolt to one side and the steering wheel doesnt jerk as far as it did before. What would cause that? Edited May 18, 2012 by Parentnoia Quote 1999 GMC Suburban SLTNo system planned just yet. Look at "hate" spelled backwards. It spells "e-tah."

Parentnoia Posted May 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 how many miles you got on her? Well, since I bought it, a little over 1000 miles. Before I bought it, the paper work says around 30k (I think) on the new engine. Quote 1999 GMC Suburban SLTNo system planned just yet. Look at "hate" spelled backwards. It spells "e-tah."

gaitan1977 Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 a-frame bushing could be the culprit. dose it happen when you hit the brakes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parentnoia Posted May 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 No, mainly when gently turning. Not at a full stop, and rarely when driving straight. It's just developed within the last week, especially yesterday. Quote 1999 GMC Suburban SLTNo system planned just yet. Look at "hate" spelled backwards. It spells "e-tah."

Parentnoia Posted May 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Another few brake related questions. Will I need to buy a tube of anti-seize. Last time I changed my brakes (with the help of grandfather) he said not to worry, but I want to take as good of care as can be with this truck. Quote 1999 GMC Suburban SLTNo system planned just yet.

Parentnoia Posted May 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 I'll be leaving shortly, so I need to know what I need to pick up when I go, so I can minimize the number of trips.

Rebel4055 Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 I used a wire brush and anti-seize on my brakes. Where the pads lad on my truck it was really dirty and slightly rusty. They have to be perfectly clear for the pads to move back and forth. After I wire brushed the landings I put a touch of anti-seize on it. Same for the rotor landing. Quote Rest In Peace mother.
