I am absolutly pissed what I just found after finally crawling under the truck from a squeek that started two weeks ago and now since the steering wheel grabbed to the right when i was turning and didnt want to go back to center; squeek started really soft now its very noticable. Ive had my truck in one shop for the front end upgrades (there was some attemted ****ery then with the tech saying i drove the truck in with a broken ABS sensor wire). Im not going to name the shop yet, but it is nation wide.
Please tell me what you all see wrong in these photos and how you think it happened. -I am schedueld for them to do rear end upgrades this coming Friday, I told the sales rep yesterday that I want them to look at the front for a squeek. And now I am preparing for a battle.
Questions I have:
List of Front End upgrades installed-
May 2015: Outfitter Design Tie Rods
June 2015: Scorpion Steering Bracket & Differential Bracket Bushing
February 2020: Moog Upper Control Arms, Moog Ball Joints, Leveled and Aligned. Took three days b/c their tech cut the driver ABS sensor, then claimed I drove it in like that :no:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atggncbi3WI Im cringing now after waching this, @7:40 after seeing how my ball joints are installed.
I need all the help our HUMMER comunity can give me on how to approach the shop on this one.

Questions I have:
- Looking at the front diff; should I be concerned about the oil leak out / is my diff damaged possibly? Does this indicate the seals are bad?
- The ball joints' zerks point at the wheel (WTF), isnt there suppose to be a boot installed on these? are these still good?
- Tie rod out ends still good?
- Steering rack, its shot isnt it / is that a crack on the rack? Would a zip tie on a boot cover just magically fall off?
- Front Diff Bushing....how the **** does the bushing just explode? These poly bushings are harder than the OEM rubber ones...
