STEERING PLAY

(1/1)

jadean77:
I HAVE A 76 GMC THAT HAS BEEN BUILT FOR RACING WITH LITTLE CONCERN FOR ANYTHING ELSE. BUT I CAN LET GO OF THE STEERING WHEEL HOLDS FAIRLY STRAIGHT MAY NEED ALIGNING, BUT THE FACTORY STEERING WHEEL HAS REAL BAD PLAY IN IT. TURNS ALMOST HALF WAY WITHOUT TURNING THE WHEELS. WHAT CAN I DO OR HAVE DONE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THE TRUCK HAD POWER STEERING, BUT IT WAS TAKEN OFF. BIG TIME RIGGED UP TRUCK. BUT WAS TRADED EVEN FOR 77 TOWN CAR, SO I COULDN'T GO WRONG. I LOVE THE TRUCK BUT THIS PART OF IT IS ROUGH. THANK YOU. ANY HELP WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

roger27:
mine had the exact same problem. i had to get a new pitman arm,,. i heard they were very weak and most 73-87 trucks today usually need a new one or something. not sure,. but anyways i got a new pitman arm, and at the same time a wheel alignment because with a new pitman arm the steering offset gets even more amplified. anyways you might wanna have that looked at. it costed me $167 for a new pitman arm and wheel alignment.
