axle valve

[crazydog]

My 13 had a leaking axle valve that the dealer just replaced. Since then, it doesn't feel right. Hard to describe. Feels odd going over any little bump. Feels loose? Has a 'thunk'? What should I be looking for? What did they do wrong? I can't bring it in til Monday as they are closed today.

mmm, I'm sure that's what they said it was. It was leaking oil near the left front tire. So differential?? They said they had to replace a valve. Clearly I am such a mechanic, hahaha.

I believe what he is talking about has the relay for the struts that can be adjusted......

Must be a Denali, Not on my Truck!!

Someone who has adjusting heights in their suspension..

The invoice says . . L front Axle Shaft Seal leaking

sorry for confusion . . .

Check suspension. Thunk noise, they may have left something loose?

Axle shaft is a no brainier,

Maybe they just screwed up when they put everyThing back together

Well, as I figured, it's ready at the dealership and they said nothing was wrong with it. I firmly believe something is not right but what do I do???

Please feel free to contact me as well. I would be happy to look into this for you on my end and perhaps get in touch with the dealer for you. I look forward to hearing from you.

Couldn't live with it anymore, so brought it back today--they finally "replicated" what I'm hearing/feeling and it's in for the day again to see if they can figure out what went wrong during the seal replacement!

My fingers are crossed for you. I can fully appreciate the frustration of knowing something is wrong but not knowing what.

[crazydog]

Bolt for a tie rod was loose (or left loose as it had no problems until they replaced the seal, then immediate issues driving out of the dealership)??? Riding great now!

[00Silverado4x4]

Well at least they found a problem and didn't make you feel like you were the problem.

[crazydog]

Yup! They were professional . . .though I do feel they could have done a better job of checking it out when I first brought it back with the problem . . . ah, well, things could be much worse.
