I have an 01 with minor mods, The trruck is fine to me but when others drive it the complain bout the loose steering.I checked all the joints and bearings and there all good and tight. The dealer said it was a comon complaint for that generation.Is this true? and is the any fix?

 

its a common complaint for al gens ... check for play in the wheel. Could be worn out or loose "steering shaft", a worn steering shaft will cause loose or wondering steering. Had same issues in my old 72 Jimmy found out it was worn out steering shaft, thank god I did spend a crap load of cash on a steering box, only to find I still had "slopy" steering.

Check out www.borgeson.com info and parts for steering shafts.

 

Thanks i'll look in a few and see how it feels

 

i have noticed that my truck has a lot of play in the steering as well. it even got a lot worse when i put my 37s back on after the winter. sometimes when i am in a parking lot my power steering will quit if i am backing out of a spot and that really sucks! any ideas?

 

Check your trac bar. That is usually the culprit.

 

Yea i kinda figured i had someone turn the wheel hard back and forth hard while i was undernieth and it was moven pretty good. it didnt move at all when i used a prybar thoe, but its been orderd hope it helps a bit
