Re: "Loose" 2007 H2
Surf, just to follow-up, if you are going to off road your H2 you need to beef up the pitman & idler as well as the tie rods. Replace the factory stuff! I replaced them the first week I had my 2006 and have not had a problem with the front end and it has been wheeled allot!

Re: "Loose" 2007 H2
I'm not intending to intentionally off-road it. We drive from San Jose, CA to Albuquerque at least twice a year and we frequently run into nasty weather. Our H3 has gotten us out of trouble and through some very bad weather three times. We no longer will consider ever making that drive again in anything but a Hummer.

Don't blame you though...I probably wouldn't buy it either.
The warranty expires in October so we're covered for a while. I just don't want to have to keep bringing it in for repair. The dealer is going to have it checked out tomorrow which begs the question, why didn't they check it out before?

Re: "Loose" 2007 H2
The dealer checked out the suspension and didn't find anything wrong. I drove it again and the steering feels better. Either the service tech did something or maybe I'm just getting used to the feel of an H2.
It turns out some of the rattling I was hearing was due to very loose luggage racks. They tightened them up and it improved things somewhat. It's probably now in the rattle range of the other H2 I drove. Still not as tight as my H3 but I guess it isn't supposed to be.
I'm at the absolute deadline for either extending my H3 lease or buying the H3 so I have to make a decision tonight.
