suburban steering/ handling
I have a 1999 suburban that I resently acquired. I find the steering is very loose. It feels like a pickup truck hauling excessive weight in the back and the front end is lightened.
I had all inner & outer tie rods replaced, along with drop pitman arm, ball joints. The entire front end was inspected & alignment done. It still feels very light in the front end, steering is too loose. I read a thread about the steering position sensor, and how some people have felt a burst of power from the power steering pump. I haven't felt anything like that, the steering is very consistent at all speeds. I did remove the sensor, cleaned it, put it back in without any changes. Of course that could mean this sensor hasn't been working at all. Any suggestions, advise? |

Re: suburban steering/ handling
Does sound like a steering sensor issue, and cleaning won't do anything for it. Replace the sensor and see what happens.

Re: suburban steering/ handling
Okay, so possibly the sensor has never worked at all since I've had this suburban. thanks, I'll give it a try asap.
