Steering Question - Any way to tighten it up?
Hey all,
I am wondering if there is a way to reduces the "slop" in my steering? Basically I am trying to reduce the amount of wiggle or movment in the steering wheel before it actually makes the wheels turn Any ideas? |

No. Probably worn out staring gear box and should be replaced. I replaced mine on an '04 with the same symptoms and that fixed the slop in the steering. Now with my '06 I may be lose to the same repair with only 55k miles on this truck. It is leaking a small amount of fluid over time.

^^ While that may be true, it's not the only thing that will fix sloppy steering. Pitman and idler arm would be the first thing I checked
There's actually a list of tests you can do for each front end component. Google 'test front end components' or similar for any chevy/GM. I had horrible steering at 50k and while I replaced ball joints and hubs, I also replaced idler and pitman plus added the cognito support brackets- drives just like a brand new truck. |
