Steering Tightness / Wind Drift on Highway Suburban 2500

Here you go. I tightened both and the steering has improved. Thanks for the tip

Cool. Thanks! I'll give it a shot tomorrow. My tilt knob may need some convincing to come off so I can get the covers off.

I'm going to try this too. There's another thread on the forum that mentions the steering gearbox and I tired to loosen the retaining nut on it yesterday so I could adjust the allen screw it holds, but the dang but is so tight I couldn't get it to move. There is about zero space to work in that position. I'll try this first and see if it does the trick. Seems a lot easier!!

(Here is the video that shows the steering box adjustment: )

I was able to get to the screws yesterday and mine are tight as can be -- couldn't budge them. On to the next steps.

Some of the tire web sites, Goodyear for example explain how to reduce oversteer by lowering tire pressure. I did lower my pressure to 35 psi and the wandering was reduced some. A supplemental steering stabilizer will help as well.

Got mine straightened out. It turn out to be a wheel bearing... Damn
