Consumer Description

I HAVE TWO GM TRUCKS ONE A 1997 CHEVROLET SILVERADO AND ONE A 1997 GMC SIERRA K-2500 THIS WILL BE THE THIRD REPLACMENT OF THIS STEERING PART, IT IS A DANGER BECUSE WHEN YOU TURN THE VEHICLE OVER STEERS LIKE YOU JUST HIT ICE. ITS A SIMILAR FEELING TO HITING THE BRAKES AND THE WHEEL BEING JERKED OUT OF YOUR HAND. THIS WOULD BE VERY HAZARDEST ON ICE COVERED ROADS. BOTH TRUCKS HAVE ONLY ABOUT 42K MI. AND HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE ABOUT 15K MI. I HAVE REPLACED THREE NOW. THE DEALERS SAY IT IS A VERY COMMON PARK TO REPLACE.*AK
