Steering issues on duramax

Postby 89workhorse » Fri Feb 17, 2012 2:09 pm

Hey guys, my 01 2wd duramax is having handling issues, the steering colum wont lock, & while driving has a lot of slop back & forth, & gets alittle hard to steer, could this be in the colum/ steering shaft or am I over looking the suspension, any ideas would help thanks

Check or replace idler arm, and rest of steering parts. They need the idler replaced every 80 -100k miles.

Park the POS and drive the Dodge! ;)

Just enough power to break everything behind the crankshaft.
