Hello-
Experiencing some steering issues in my Yukon. Some back ground info: has 6.5 inch lift with 37 inch tires. While driving the steering will wiggles around on its own and I can feel some oscillation in the tires when going over large bumps or puddles of water. Sometimes the movement in the steering wheel is a little scary when going through water as the wheel will jerk from right to left. I was going to try replacing the front shocks with something newer to see if that helps but i feel like the issue is definitely in the steering component somewhere. Truck has 150k miles on it and I have no idea if anything has ever been done to the steering. No problems turning or response besides the jerking motion the wheel makes some times. Thanks

unknown at this time.
After ensuring you have no loose parts I would strong strongly (yes twice) suggest you get yourself a steering stabilizer installed.

Yeah, that was one thing I noticed being absent. I had and aftermarket one on my lifted F250 and made a world of difference. Stabilizers do not seem to be stock on these, is there a good aftermarket kit you recommend? Rancho?
