Steering is very loose and is all over the road...help

[ajs42]

Hey, this is my first post and I just need some help. I bought a 87 sierra 1500 and the steering is very loose and my truck is literally all over the road/peoples lawns. The people that owned the truck before me put in a 4" lift and I was looking online and came across what sounds like my problem but I am not sure. "As the vehicle is lifted, the distance and angle between the link's two attaching points is increased. This increased angle can initiate the tendency for the vehicle to drift and wander somewhat, especially on an off-camber, grooved, or well-worn driving surface. Excessive angle can also reduce turning radius, misalign steering wheel center, and in extreme cases cause link end failure due to pivot stud over-extension." This is what seems to be the problem so I was wondering if I needed to buy a 4-Inch Correction Adjustable Drag Link to correct this problem. If anybody has had similar problems your input about this would be very much appreciated. Thanks Andrew

Can't really help with, but try checking the chevy c/k forum. It's the same truck (mechanically), and the other forum's much more widely read and visited
