Since these trucks are, at most, a little over 4 years old it's just now getting on the longevity scale. Looking at some of the HD pickups, it seems that the steering gear wears badly when the pitman and idlers do (which makes sense).

I have slop in my steering gear now and am looking to upgrade and possibly put hydraulic over. Of course, I don't have a lift but I have been running 37" MT/Rs.

Overall, the steering system, from beginning to end, on the H2 is weak. I don't know of one part aside from the airbag that is a positive.
