Got my rattle fixed this week. Good as new so far. While it was there I showed them how the driver side front sat lower than the passenger side, and that both should probably come up a bit more anyway.

So they grinned back and told me that they would crank the bars if I would pay for the alignment. Now she is fixed and leveled. A bit firmer, so I may go Cognitos pretty soon.

 

Hi Guyz,

I own a 2008 H3, purchased it in March.....have the same damn problem. Got this confirmed from the local Dubai dealership - they would be changing this steering shaft during the first service [10,000kms], said would take 3 days & is still a problem GM / Hummer is regularly facing.... they said its safe to drive though....so there u have it....seems tob another legacy in the making!

Any idea on a good amplifier to go with the 6-CD Monsoon changer??

Ciao

The June 2008 issue of Four Wheeler has an article on this. It states that you can pull the upper shaft off and cycle it to move the grease around or buy an aftermarket steering shaft from Borgenson Universal. It will get rid of the loose OEM shaft. It is beefier and has a lot less play.

 

Hello everyone i am new to the forum and i really don't know if this is the right section of the fourm to ask, i just wanna know the difference between hummer H3 2008 and hummer H3x 2008?

is it hummer H3 is 'not equipped' with any options and the H3x is 'full option' ?

can i make my hammer H3 looks like hummer h3x if i equipped my hummer h3 with 'full options' ?

is it possible to change cloth setting to lither ?

please answer it will be very appreciated..

 

[8D] hey guys brand new AKA NEWBIE!! to this forum and i have a pretty darn good suggestion for this problem, giving you a little history in my 06 h3. I had the same problem where there was some noise in the same spot and it felt as if though something was knocking at my feet through the peddles. I brought my ride into the nearest authorized hummer dealership to get it checked out (450+km's one way) and they at first thought that it might have been the steering rack. WRONG after a replacement, then they thought it was lower control arm. WRONG. after a replacement on each side. A third trip to the authorized dealership 2400+km's they thought it was a bushing WRONG!!!! after a replacement[:@][:@][:@] the relentless mechanic was running out of options as to the solution and it dawned on him (GREAT GUY!!!!!) check out the side steps for correct installation and FINALLY a solution. when the ride was sold with the side steps the steps had a bolt that was stripped at the front end and APPARENTLY every time i steered to the left or right the step would actually move and cause a knocking that was felt through the frame. the GREAT mechanic from TEE DOT took out the bolt did something to'er and re-installed the bolt and TA DAH no more knocking and noise..........hope this helps now to check out any input for exhaust systems for my h3 WOOOOOOOOO

 

I bought my H3 about a month ago and 2 days after I had it the clunking began. I took it back to them and the clunking never stopped. I finally told them that I was going to bring out to them on a monday morning and I would like a rental. I told them to call me when the clunking stopped. They had it for a day and a half and it was the body mounts. He said they where very loose. No clunking anymore, and I finally enjoy driving it.

 

Really appreciate you guys to share this problem around the world.
i am from north borneo, we have no dealer here, the closest delaership we can get is from thailand bangkok, bangkok hummer branch was awesome too.
there is only 4 units of h3 on there road here and 2 stuck in car dealer (which is not from GM).
hopefully i could get mine fix soon enough.

I have an 08 and I just started hearing the noise the other day, but mostly on acceleration. I am going to try and call over to the dealer this week and get them to look at it.

 

OMG!!! I can not believe it, I am not the only one. I was on my way to going the lemon law route with my 06 H3 when finally on the last attempt it was discovered that my grill was loose. I live on a dirt road and every time I drove my H3 it sounded like a bucket of bolts coming down the road. I even had to record it on audio for the dealership to hear that I was not crazy. They replaced everything that you can imagine, the steering shaft and all of the other normal items that everybody has experienced. They say there was a bolt that was loose and they fixed it and put some foam tape behind the grill around the headlight area. It is much better but it still makes the noise. I finally had a mediator that sat down with GM and myself and he determined that it was wear and tear. I said you have got to be kidding me, just because your guys could not figure this out and chose to change everything under my front end does not mean wear and tear. I had about 8K miles in 2 years, that is not saying much since this vehicle is designed for offroad. Needless to say I am not impressed with Hummers anymore. Now I have an H3 that has depreciated 4K in the last 4 months. Guess I will be keeping it. Hope everyone else is having a better experience than me. Now when I drive my truck and it has warmed up there is a whining sound coming from around the gas tank, maybe the fuel pump. I have to make an appt. to get it looked at. Wish me luck.
