1 Rear Suspension problem

Failure Date: 12/02/1998

I've owned my GMC Suburban less than two years and have had two sets of brake pads put on the vehicle. The brakes still do not act properly. The last set of rear brakespads was due to the rear axle seal leaking fluid all over them. Last week the front brakes started vibrating upon stopping and they were replaced. I have owned several vehicles and I've never had this much trouble out of brakes.

2 Rear Suspension problem

Right rear axle seal failed.
