| This is an intermittent failure which was repaired once at manufacturer's expense and is now occurring intermittently again but with more frequency. i am being told by chevrolet that it is my problem now and i maintain that this is an inherent problem with the vehicle and they are responsible for helping me repair this major problem with the suspension of this awd vehicle.*ak | |||

| Comments: why did everyone miss the 1999 chevy astro van with awd? i already had the front wheel bearings replaced (at my cost) earlier this year for the same problem!!! parts are no longer available, but local firestone garage performed the maintenance, and has the records of the service. near-miss too many times at low speed stopping problems. some one needs to include the chevy & gmc mini-vans!!! *jb | |||
