Be sure to use engine braking when in the mountains. Hot brakes on the Chevy Roadtreks can cause significant front end wobble or vibration.

On mine, none of the zerks were stuck. The "tech" simply did not get the grease gun tip on properly. Happens to me sometimes too, but I can tell when grease is pouring out the bottom side of the gun...
