  1. It appears the not centered airbag comes from the factory. Mine also sits noticeably to the right.
  2. Created an account just to vent.... I purchased a used 2015 Silverado LT with the 4.3 V6(I know). I liked the truck and the price. Anyways, it had 56k and what appeared to be the original Wrangler tires on it. I noticed during the test drive a little shake when brakes were applied and when at highway speeds. I thought nothing of it and figured a set of brakes and tires and I'd be good to go. First thing I do in the first 2 weeks after buying is replace the front brakes. This fixed the shake in the pedal 100%. A month later I decided to replace the tires. As it's coming into winter here in Michigan I decided to get some A/T winter tires. My tire guy recommended Mastercraft Courser ATX as a great tire for the money. I go ahead and get the tires. Oddly the vibrations and center console shake is still there. I have the shop road force balance the tires, but to no avail. I take it to my local GM service center and tell them my issue. Immediately they say it's those cheap Mastercraft tires. I leave it with them for a few days and when I pick it up they say two tires are bad and they failed RF balance. Ok, bummer. I go back to tire shop and they re balance the tires and said they are good. Still have a issue. I go back to GM and they say new tires will fix the problem. Even though I just spent over $700 on the Mastercrafts I thought if this solves my issue I'll return the MC as defective. I drop over $1k on GY Duratracs, as they were recommended by the rep. Guess what? The shake is still there! Now I'm pissed as I have almost $2k wrapped up in tires and still rides like crap. I ask for my old tires to be reinstalled and my money back for the Wranglers. They refuse and say it drives as it should. Now I'm fuming mad! I decide to look online regarding my shake/vibration issues and wow! Did I make a mistake buying this turd. I gather up some information to bring up to my service rep regarding the problem I am facing. They don't want to hear anything and assure me my truck is operating within spec. I then take the truck to a local drivetrain specialty shop and they take it for a test drive they and say somethings wrong. No sh#@! Now I plan on having them take a look at it to try to find the problem. The mechanic who test drove it said first thing he'll do is drop the driveshaft and check it for run out and balance. Thanks for reading and letting me vent. I'll update with additional information when available.
