Started to hear clunking noise around 15,000 miles. The noise started to get worse as time went by. First it was just when driving up my driveway then it was while driving or even stationary pushing down on the rear bumper. Found that the leaf springs were cracked but it wasn't visible while they were on the vehicle.

The rack and pinion is not working on the power steering - chevy wont cover because the truck has been lifted. The truck was lifted the day truck was purchased and it only has 5196 miles on it. Took it to 3 lift shops and all said nothing is wrong with the lift and their own lift person said the lift was done perfect.

Vehicle developed a vibration at 80mph which fades in and out. Tires were road forced balanced, and alignment was done. Transmission fluid was changed. The shacking at 80mph continued. On a 30 mile commute at 80mph the vibration is extreme 25% of the time (like driving over a rumble strip), moderate another 25% of the time, and the other 50% the vibration is not noticeable.

Constant vibration/shake coming from the vehicle at any speed above 65 mph. The truck has been like this since the day it left the dealership. When on highway and vibration is felt, putting the truck in neutral does not change the vibration, slowing down makes it slightly worse, speeding it makes it slightly better. Feels like there is something seriously wrong with the geometry of the truck making it unsafe to…
