Re: Looking at buying an '05 Yukon XL

.... Cdub......wrote ( '....good luck with the test drive..." )

Well, I test drove the '05 Yukon for a half hour today.....
I found 2 issues.....

1).... The manual tilt steering. It slips out of it's position in the medium settings. The steering wheel is solid in the completely "up" and completely "down".... But with a bit of pressure, the wheel falls down in middle positions.
( Not good )
WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO REPAIR THAT????? Anyone?

2).... As I come to a stop from 30mph, slowly to stopping.... It sounds / feels like a front brake pad is grinding the rotor as you stop. But no real warping feel. Stops straight.

As my '88 C2500 is not to expensive to replace a front rotor / pad, is it a reasonable cost for this 2005 Yukon??

Everything else seems great with the Yukon 4x4.
