And I paid 69.95 for a front end alignment which was needed after the replacement.

So $421.45 total.

How far off was the alignment when you got done? Can you shoot some pics of it installed?

You can pick up new parts off of ebay for about $50-100 bucks... I just use the lifetime alignment at firestone...paid under $200 for it and have had 5 or 6 alignments done already...

Not sure how much out of alignment it was when they got done but probably a lot since they took everything apart. Alignment is mandatory after all of this. Pictures are probably not going to work since the skid plate got reinstalled. It basically covers it all.

I'll have Adam crawl under there when I get to Moab and send him in with a camera.

That sould be covered under your warranty. I just rolled over 40k on mine so im now in my GMPP and i just had the similar work done. I took mine to the local chevy dealership which has a hummer certified tech to do the work as my closest hummer dealership is significantly futher from my house. They changed out my stearing gear box, pitman and idler arms all of which covered under GMPP. Keep in mind i am also running 20's(MarineHawk.....20's can wheel just as well as 17's ), my rock sliders are scraped up and its very visible that i have wheeled this truck when it is on a lift.


On the same note, the dealer had to take my truck down the road to get the alignment done(also covered under warranty when replacing steering gear box/pitman arm) as my truck does not fit on their rack. The facility performing my alignment is well respected as having the best equipement in a 60-90mile radius. Apparently they cannot center my steering wheel perfect because my alignment would not be correct--reason being my frame is pretty well knocked up from wheeling. This was portrayed to the dealership and still no problem. I say bs on the part of the dealer--Old Hiker is right!

I agree with Boss & OH. That is BS. I've got about the same mileage as you and I got mine replaced under warranty. And my service dept certainly knows that I wheel. (Although, admittedly, I have stock wheels. But the dealers even sell H2's with 20" wheels.) I would go up the food chain. Try asking for a phone number for a GM Zone Manager.

My Mall Queen has never seen anything but pavement and had to replace pitman and idler with just shy of 10,000 miles on rig bought new. I have the Fabtech kit from PhilD custom painted Stealth Gray to match the rest of the undercarriage for show. I guess I will not have anymore trouble now.
