In owners' own words
The u bolts on the drive axles are undersized and fail prematurely. The front axle of the vehicle is heavy causing premature tire wear. The manufacturer has now made kits for u bolts replacement available to correct the defect, consumer was also informed that the tires had never been balanced which was also causing premature tire wear. Suspension
U bolts came lose, lost the spacers off of the leaf springs on driver's side, almost lost front end of vehicle. Which is causing the alignment to be off, cannot fix.Dealer contacted. Suspension
Consumer states tires are experiencing wear at 60000 miles and less, tanks were set back, however vibration is still occurring on front, shaking the computer out of the dash. *Slc Suspension
