I have a 95 yukon with a 6 inch lift. It has about 2 inches of play from left to right in the steering wheel. I recently replaced the ball joints on the passanher side, the idler and Pittman arm and a outer tie rod end. Then I got it aligned. The problem is that at high speeds the steering will break away from where I'm steering. It happens at lower speeds but isn't hazardous like it is at 65+. I am narrowing down the problem. So far I have jacked up the front end and tested the play in steering. The tires don't move up down left or right without the steering wheel moving as well. The tie rod ends, pittman, and idler arm don't seem to have any play either. I didn't take of the steering dampener though. From the top it seems like the play is from the steering column to the gear box. I an turn the wheel and when I've gone that inch or two of play the Pittman arm and tires etc start moving. I have also adjusted that bolt on top of the gear box 1/8 the of a turn with not much difference. The play is still there but it seems a tiny bit harder to turn. What should I do next?
