ABS, trac off lights come on and stay on and service traction control warning comes on. Took to mechanic, replaced both front wheel hubs not even 6 months ago and now back at shop again to have them replaced. But even having those fixed lights still remain on.
2001 Monte Carlo ss failure of steering knuckle passenger side. Replaced outer tie rod two times on second replacement noticed tie rod was loose in knuckle after looking closer I saw large crack in tierod hole that if separated completely the steering would have failed. Had to replace steering knuckle and tierod again. Was told that this happens very frequently with all models of GM cars with this same setup. Mileage at failure was around 110,000 miles.
