The fronts are good, I replaced the rubber lines and calipers 2 years ago go. I’m going to do the rear line tonight.

Suburban bouncing going down the highway and I can't figure it out. Fixed it!
- Thread starter eodcoduto
- Start date
A sticking caliper would cause a shake, and I’d be able to feel that in the steering wheel and throbbing through the brakes.
You need to have someone drive it, while you drive next to it and around it looking for the issue. Or mount a camera/phone in areas under it.
Thats the plan. We are going to hit the 4 lane with me following so I can watch both sides and see whats going on. After the garden is planted and we process meat birds. Always competing with time.
I'm just telling you my experience, as it's happened more than once with that car. It shakes like a wheel is full of mud - steering and brakes feel normal. When I stop, RR rotor is hot - that's how I know.
I’m all about checking everything to fix this or its getting sold!
Make sure the parking brake isn't halfway engaged also. It would cause a similar feeling.
I was thinking the same thing while driving my K10 to work this morning. I had that issue years ago where the parking brake cable was not releasing all the way. The truck bounced all the way home. I felt the rear wheels once I got home and they were hot from the rear drum brakes dragging. It's 22 miles from work to my house. I fixed it temporarily by getting under the truck and using pliers to pull the parking brake cable towards the front of the truck to release the drum brakes. Did not use the parking brake until I replaced the parking brake cable. I could not get the parking brake cable sheath out of the truck so I pulled the old cable out and ran the new cable inside the existing parking brake sheath. I lube the parking brake cable yearly to keep it from rusting and sticking again.
Two tires were out of balance by 2oz. Its fixed, and I should have started there. It gets to stay another day!
wait we didn't cover that at the beginning ? I thought this was multi sets of tire bounce ?
It was. Set one were venom’s that came on it, and they were shot. The 2nd set was the Coopers that had the wires debonded from the case. This set are Goodyears and they bounced right off but I wanted to give them a day or so to break in, then life got in the way and it took until yesterday to get them checked again.
The two kids at Sams last night were both gearheads and fixed them. When they were originally put on I saw one guy struggling from taking off the tire to mounting it so I bet he was the issue.

Sperated tires will never stay balanced. One way to know there separated. Keep an eye on these new ones if they start bouncing again they may seperated too
If this set does that then there is something wrong with the Suburban to cause it, or China is sabotaging our tires, which is exactly what I would do.
best of my knowledge no mechanical issue can cause a tire to separate. A bad pot hole hit or rock hit maybe. Mostly is poor tire design or manufacturer process.
