All your tips were helpful.
Hey guys,
After reading all your posts about the “Steering Wheel Wobble” and suggestions of how to correct this, I’ve gone ahead and purchased the steering stabilizer suggested (link below). I am quite excited to see if this will greatly improve the issue, as I’ve been trying to correct this problem for the past year. I have a GMC Yukon 01 (4x4 SLT 4.8 that’s all stock with 20s and 120k miles on it) and the wheel seems to only wobble when hitting bumps, uneven lines, and grooves in the road.
I’ve had Midas, Pep boys, and local mechanics align, balance, inspect my front suspension, and even replace my tire rods and rotors to see if the issue would resolve. Of course all these did help, however did not get rid of the problem. Knowing that 120k miles on an 01 Yukon is quite long, it’s probably something loose that can’t been seen by the eye and will have to be corrected by just replacing all front suspension. Rather than jump to that conclusion, I am going to try the stabilizer first. If that doesn’t correct the issue I will update the pitman and idle arm and then followed by the steering rod.
Just wanted to thank you guys for the trips and I will keep you posted. If you have any thoughts on my post, please let me know as I am new to the auto scene.
