Sudden squeaking/chirping of belt

100k C5 with original tensioner. Should I be looking at a new tensioner or is it likely just a worn belt ?

Funky noise after spring/shock install

All seemed to be running well and much tighter like I wanted until I began hitting some bumps at speed...like 30-40mph and I get a little wheel flutter. At the same time I get some klunking noises....

Z51 spring upgrade

When I set the adjusters for the new Z51 spring should I copy where the OE springs were set ? Won't the stiffer spring sit the car higher ? Shouldn't I start with the adjusters lower ? Also my OE...

Cant get the fron spring out

My adjusters are frozen. I fear if I wrench on them harder I will snap them. I am replacing the spring and the tension is just enough that I can't get it out. Should I soak the adjusters longer ?...
