Subject: Easy steering?
IP: Logged

Message:
Does anyone else have this "problem" with their truck? I've got a '97 that has a really easy steer to it. My brother had a '68 Cutlass that had the same issue. We used to say it had no "road feel". It's been that way pretty much since I got it. It doesn't really bother me, but other people who borrow my truck always mention it. I asked the dealer and they thought it might be the gearbox and wanted something like $500 to check and see if they were right. There isn't any slop in the steering, but as long as the engine is running, I can literally flip the steering wheel with a single finger all the way from left-to-right (and vice versa). I've got it in the back of my mind that it might be a safety issue, but I'm not sure where to start looking.
Thanks for any tips!

My 99 4x4 was like that too, compared to the steering on my '00 it was like night and day.....way to easy to turn the wheel on the 99, the '00 is way way stiffer.
