Consumer Description

I OWN A 97' GMC Z-71. I'VE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING ON MY TRUCK FOR THE PAST 3 MONTHS. IT GETS IN A BIND WHEN TURNING AND I LOSE MY POWER STEERING PART OF THE TURN AND THEN I REGAIN IT COMING OUT OF THE TURN. I HAVE A FRIEND WITH A 96' CHEVY TAHOE 4X4 THAT HAS THE SAME PROBLEM, AND ANOTHER FRIEND WITH A 98' CHEVY SILVERADO THAT HAS COME ACROSS THE SAME PROBLEM, ALMOST RESULTING IN A CRASH. WE ALL HAVE CHANGED OUR POWER STEERING PUMPS AND STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I ALSO HAVE TROUBLE TURNING MY WHEELS WHEN SITTING STILL OR AT SLOW SPEED ( I RUN 285/75/16 RADIALS) AND IT CAUSES AN INCONVENIENCE IN TIGHT TURNING OR IN A PARKING LOT. I HIT A CAR IN THE REAR BECAUSE MY TRUCK COULDN'T TURN FAST ENOUGH IN A LOCAL STORE PARKING LOT.*JB
