98 Yukon 4x4 steering wobble at 50+

I agree with what @tom3 said. Get under there, all weight on the ground, have someone move the steering wheel from 3 to 9 and look for the slop. Also, floor jack under lower control arm close to ball joint and lift tire off ground about 2" and then use long pry bar to lift up and down and watch ball joints for slop. Look at pitman arm mount area at steering gear for gear splined shaft slop when wiggling steering wheel.

Yeah so its like a sunday driver for me so Im not going to be pouring miles on it. Also, I really want to find one with rear air and leather. But this one was nearby, so clean and the right price so I just wanna get it dialed in so I can enjoy it and be able to sell it if I find another one.

I'll check them out. Thanks.

Well I was goin to re-do everything because I wasn't sure where the problem is and with 190k figured it could all use it. But if its as simple as one side tie rod I don't think I will bother with anything else.

If you do one do both and if you’re already in for a alignment get the control arm ball joints done or else you’ll have weird wear marks when tires wear down. If you can price it out just swap the control arms if they have play don’t forget endlinks im currently ignoring my personal suspension problems and paying for it in wearing out tires faster and inconsistent.
