Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Abnormal tire wear and suspension noises on chevrolet colorado 4 x4 2005 model. with less that 20,000 miles both front tires were worn into the steel belts. i replace both tire and had the front end aligned by a local tire store. 5000 miles later the insides were wearing again. this time i took the truck to the local chevrolet dealer in anderson,sc. i had several items to be addressed before my original warranty expired. one of these items was the front end assemby- squeaks and rattles plus the tire wear. the local dealer kept my truck overnight and reported that i probably needed to get the front-end aligned and i would have to pay for this service because the original tires were not on the truck. the original tires were not on the truck because they were worn out. i had visited my car stats.com to read problems associated with 2005 colorado. one complaint number 10156778 told of a gm service bulletin concerning torsion bar setup on the colorado. i asked the chevrolet dealer to check service bulletin 1686447. they reset the entire front end. i will not know whether or not this fixed the situation until enough miles have been placed on the truck to check for wear. i really appreciate the " mycarstats.com "website. without this information my local dealer would have done nothing to fix this problem. *tr
