thx, i forgot i have a new steering shaft but when i tested mine it was still OK. but i might put it in when i do everything else just to save myself from having to redo it.

im kinda on the fence about keeping my car or moving on to something else. i really like the car and its a very reliable beater/daily. but i'm itching for a v8

does it make sense to just replace the bushings in the control arms or just buy new complete ones? afaik the car has never been in any front end accident but about a month or so ago is randomly started pulling to the left

Struts and associated hardware (https://www.gmpartsdirect.com/auto-p...uspension-scat)

Control arms (https://www.gmpartsdirect.com/auto-p...omponents-scat)

Possibly rebuild axles and hubs

Steering rack and tie rods (https://www.gmpartsdirect.com/auto-p...d-linkage-scat)

For the web links, I just used my car as an example - 2009 SS

these cars arent even worth sellIng imo. Just buy what you want and keep the car instead of taking 1500 on a trade in.

Don't forget to do a careful check of the hubs. Mine were toast at 55,000 miles and played havoc with front end diagnosis.

I wish there was something I could do about the 60s and random misfire that doesn't include hundreds of dollars for hptuners or a custom tune

I sprayed the entire engine with starting fluid and found no leaks. I put a new evap solenoid on and nothing changed

Almost every sensor is new

id take it to a independent shop, do you have a p0300 or does the car just sometimes buck? i had a loose crankshaft position sensor wire and the car was kinda strange til i found that issue, it was a 07 too but idk do u just have a p0300? id do a injector balance test on it maybe you have 2 injectors that are dirty or sticking open or closed from time to time and not setting a p0301-304 cuz its not doing it consistently enough
