Archived Need help fast truck all over the road

[DCarner]

my friend has a 01 qc 2500 4x4 auto with 85000 miles. within the last week the truck wanders all over the road, it also takes 3-6 inches of movement on the steering wheel for the truck to respond. Any help would be appreciated since it's his wifes truck and she has to fight it to drive

#1 culprit is the track bar, #2 possibility is a bad wheel bearing, check out both of those things and get a Darrin's Steering Stabilizer and the truck will be tight. I put one on my truck a while back and couldn't believe the difference.

If the steering is towed out or if the ball joints are shot it will also do that. The tire the has the most traction at the time leads being yanked aroiund by the unevenness of the pavement.

I also had that problem. I replaced



1 Ball joint

Track Bar

Steering Box

DSS Kit from Darin (www.solidsteel.ca)

Steering Shaft



The steering shaft made the biggest difference. I got mine from Borgeson (www.borgeson.com) for about $250



Now my steering is tight and not all over the road.



Hope this helps
