Sloppy steering

[stevep]

Where is the EVO sensor i think that is my issue to

The sensor's in the steering column, goes around the shaft, looks like a little black doughnut with a wiring harness coming off of it.

Almost like your driving in really strong wind or something, lol.

That describes my steering to a 'T'. I'm going to give the sensor a shot and see what happens. I just got alignment and control arms in May '10. It was suggested to try a steering box, but I'd rather spend a 100 trying than 400 trying.

I have that same problem with my steering, feels like there's play or also it will be soft then it gets hard back and forth. But i thought it was my alignment took it 3 weeks ago and nope.

Im not sure on the OBS Style trucks. However, If your trucks have a Intermediate shaft, replace it first, then if they have a Idler arm, replace that next. That should fix your problem. Or atleast get some of your slop out...

to tighten you steering with maybe tightening your torsion keys?

I have replaced everything including the rag joint, steering wheel speed sensor and gear box, never mind my whole front end. I still have play.
Going in for an alignment this weekend, hoping this will help out. That along with having my tires re-mounted.
Otherwise, I think the conclusion is, GM OBS' in particular have THE worst steering ever..........

retorq,
Do you have any play at all in your steering?

No none ... everything except for the frame sway bar bushings is new though.
