Found another place that did a great job. Thanks for everyone's input. Dick

Thanks for the info. I didn't have the work done. They were only going to adjust toe and charge the full amount for the alignment. I have found that there are three bolts holding the alignment on the lower control arm, I think two allow adjustment of camber and the other is for caster. The...

Had a break in my schedule this morning, took the Envoy to a reputable shop for alignment check and I was told they could only adjust toe-in. Does this sound right? Haven't had one of these models before so trying to learn as I go. There must be an adjustment for camber and caster, isn't...

Thanks for the replies. I have only driven it around the block, my steering wheel is in the same straight ahead position it was before the change. From what I've read the the SS springs only lower it by an inch in front. I didn't measure before the change. If it works the picture should be...

I finally got around to putting stock SS springs and shocks on the front and lowered the rear with Belltech 2 inch drop springs and shocks on my 2003 Envoy. I have read about needing an alignment after changing the ride height. I won't be able to get it to the alignment shop for a couple of...

Brake pins changed in 2006 to the ones pictured above but I don't know which pin goes where. Dick

Thanks Bill The only way I can lower my stock Envoy than is to put SS springs in front for a 1 inch drop and then lower the rear with Tony's 2 inch lower rear springs and shocks?

I've talked with Tony about new parts. I'm just looking for the difference in the front suspension pieces from non-SS to SS in stock form. Dick

I have been reading a lot of past threads on suspension lowering and haven't found an answer to one of my questions. From what I understand the SS front suspension uses the same parts as non-SS versions with the exception of the springs, if this is true, how come there isn't a problem with...

Donald, Also wanted to thank you publicly for your help. That little orange wire did the trick. Dick

Thanks for everyone's help, the seats are in and working. Dick

Thanks for the reply, I looked at the seat wiring and there was no visible problem. Guess my next move is to follow the wiring with a volt-ohm meter. Thanks again.

Have a question on your SS seat installation. I'm in the middle of doing the same on a 2003. I just used the orange and black wires on the passenger side and it works fine. When I put the drivers seat in again I used just the orange and black wires and nothing works, no back & forth, no up &...

Thanks for the write up. I won't be doing this until next spring, changing to the fast ratio rack. Dick

Unfortunately I'm not seeing any pictures. Is there something I need to do to see them? Maybe I didn't wait long enough, they are starting to appear! Dick
