Just notice both the rim and tire are contacting the front of the arm dca46e3e3df01fc9952910de2f4fa3f4.jpg

Are these the uniballs or ball joints? I can't actually see the joint on your pictures. I seem to remember something about mounting it on top rather than on bottom in another thread.

Ball joints, mounted on top. Even if I play with the alignment cam, nothing changes

Backspacing/ offset is the problem here. Those wheels are +27 and close to 6 inches of backspacing which is pulling the wheels closer to the UCA and other suspension components. If you have your heart set on running the stock wheels I would get 1.5" bora spacers at a minimum to push those wheels out away from the suspension.

 

Spacers or much less offset rims will be your best bet.

I understand, just thought I could run at least the stock units to the shop to get the tires and alignment done. Cognito says it would have worked. I'll go the bora route, 1.5 will be enough you think?

Look back at my first post on this thread. Cognito said no more than 5 inches backspace and you have approx 5.5. Granted that it on a 17 inch wheel and yours is on a 20.

Gotcha. I do think they need to be a tad more descriptive of this on their instructions...

 

"- This upper control arm kit will fit on a stock vehicle with factory wheels and tires. Larger than factory tires will not fit on factory wheels without rubbing the control arms."

I agree with Bushleaguechew as the rim diameter moves the rub to the actual rim vs the bulge of the tire when going by cognitos specs. I'm sure they were referring to the 17 or 18 wheels which have less offset as well (+24 I believe on the 18")

 

I believe the AT wheels have the pockets inside the rim so that if you want with 1.5" bora spacers you wouldn't have to trim the stock threads.

 

I would pull the wheels just to make sure there are pockets before ordering or just go with 1.75" to be safe.

 

I went through all of this recently but didn't get the severe rub because I still have stock uca's but after going with Fox 2.0 all around I rub at full lock with stock rims at 275/55/20 due to the change in height and change in suspension geometry. I decided to just change wheels and went with 17" methods with 0 offset and plan to put cognitos on as well.

Same here I'm putting on methods tomorrow. Only issue is more fender rub with a more negative offset.

 

No problems with stock 22s tho.

      There's some truth to the above, but also, she's selling fullsize trucks and bread/butter CUV's like hotcakes, meanwhile, extracting GM's pickups from the deep discounting sales game.   GM's stock has held its own during her tenure, and the more recent buybacks are delivering cash back to investors and signal confidence in their direction forward. Even with the EV losses.   GM is an example of a modern publicly traded company. The #1 goal of any publicly traded company is to deliver the most value possible to shareholders. Despite being a car company, building the best car isn't GM's path to delivering maximum shareholder value.   McDonalds doesn't make the best burger, or the best coffee.   I've mentioned in another thread, I really don't / won't ever understand Cadillac or Buick in a modern context. Both brands are completely dead to me. I'll cede that the Escalade is a nice SUV, but the brand and nameplate mean nothing to me, and GM will never persuade me to pay north of $170k for a gussied-up Tahoe or Burb. Other people don't mind doing that and that's their purview.   The C8 shares absolutely nothing in common with any other current Chevrolet or Corvette on the market. Since its introduction 8 years ago, it's developed quite the following. It did what other Corvettes couldn't do: reduce the average age of its buyer. GM has something there, and I see them investing in the car. They'd better not mess that up.   We've successfully derailed Grumpy's thread again, but I think this one is meant to be more of a random thought thread so a little wandering is probably OK.

      Sliding doors ftw   Also, Sienna ftw as well.  The in-laws got a 2024-2025 recently when their 2019 sienna was totaled due to a deer back in June.  They've been getting 38-40mpg on the 65mph highway they live on.

      07 yukon xl 6.2 stalls at hot idle and wont restart

      By xdieselmechanic · Posted

      Forgot to mention that this started after changing the oil I use mobile 1 full syn with mobile one filter but I did add pro lube additive and was the first time doing so and is making me wonder just can't see why that would matter

      07 yukon xl 6.2 stalls at hot idle and wont restart

      By xdieselmechanic · Posted

      I apologize for long post put going to try to explain everything. Parts replaced so far: Cam sensor Crank sensor Cam phaser valve Cam phaser solenoid Fuel pump Maf 1 injector Pcm Pdm   So about 2 weeks ago coming off the highway my 2007 yukon xl with the 6.2 stalled and would restart. Had unit towed back to house and I messed around with relays and unit started. Drove it the next day and same thing. Had it towed again. Scanned unit and had code p0300 with misfire data showing mainly cylinder 7 but I know that won't cause a no start. Measure fuel pressure and found only 42 psi replaced pump to have unit stall again and not restart. This time I stayed on back roads and just waited for it to restart about 30 to 60 min. During this time I found I have no injector pulse but have good power at injectors. Started unplugging 1 injector at a time and found when unplugging cylinder 7 pulse came back so i changed injecto and same issue. Turns out unit just happen to ready to start at that time. Scanned into unit and found no reason for the pcm to take away injector pulse so I replaced the pcm and same issue. I figured timing sesnor controlled the injector pulse so I replaced both sensors and while I had the water pump of i replaced the vvt components while i was in there. Read multiple people have luck chaging the maf for this issue so I changed it. Unit still stalls to this day and loses injector pulse on the ground side when it does. Have noticed watching the live data the pcm is request injectors to fire via injector pwm value. I have redone the ground wires at the left bottom of the block knowing this was the ground location for the pcm but still no luck. I am a mechanic by trade but this is having me pull my hair out. If anyone has something to have me check I will gladly im not much of a parts thrower but im about to load the cannon

      auto mechanical driver's door unlock without pressing button? [2026 Silv. 1500 WT 4WD RC SB 2.7L]

      By newdude · Posted

      Actually.  Wait.   I just re-read your original post.  Are you talking from INSIDE the truck you have to hit unlock?  Or from the key fob?  I had assumed from the key fob.   IF you are talking the inside unlock button, I assume you are shifting to park and its not unlocking the doors?  If so, that is changed via the settings page in the radio.  Go to SETTINGS, then VEHICLE and then it should be under LOCKS or DOOR LOCKS or something like that.
