Description of the problem | My wife and i own a 09 chevy traverse and have had for about 3 years. When we first bought it it drove like brand new but over the period of a year or so we started to feel a side to side swaying (such as rocking in a boat) while driving about 60 mph. Since we've got 4 kids and my wife uses it as a day to day vehicle i took it to the dealership and had them tell me it was struts (which i had replaced) and after being replaced it still had the side to side movement. It has gotten to the point i don't allow her to drive her nor the kids because of the dangers. I've had the rack n steering, front upper and lower control arms the rear upper control arms, stabilizer bar bushings along with numerous other bushings and all 4 brand new tires. The dealership nor other independent shop knows what else to replace. |
