So I started noticing that my Suburban starts shaking over 70 mph. So I figured that I need an alignment an also new tires. But then it makes a sound, like a click, on the driver's side tire when I turn at low speeds. Figured out it's the cv joint. Should r I replace both of them, or just the drivers side that is messing up?

Thanks in advance!

Since when did a Suburban get C V joints? It's rear wheel drive.

4WD version? (Early ones had solid axles at both ends, newer ones maybe have IFS?)

If your vehicle has high mileage, odds are the other cv axle will soon follow.. So it would be a good idea to change them both.
