So, after about 113,000 miles, I needed this repair done.
For several months, had a nagging rattle in the front suspension, and the trucks ride quality had really depreciated. Plus, a noise, groan, and low pitch ping in the steering column when doing low speed turns, or sitting still and rocking the steering wheel back & forth. ABout 113,000 miles.
$456.20
Part & Labor:
Bracket SPO BB5Z 18183 A was $54.10 (need 2) for a $108.20 total
Labor units 3 for $348.00
Noise is now gone. Ride quality now back to normal. Very happy, but wished this failed under warranty.
Stabilizer End Links still need to be replaced. But this is a less $$$ repair.
