2000 Tahoe Steering Stabilizer Help

[Skotty319]

Sorry for the obvious noob question here. I just bought a 2000 Tahoe LS 4wd with the 5.3L. We have replaced every bushing known to man in the front end and still the steering feels quite loose. So loose that changing lanes at 50 mph induces fears of rolling over.... I thought perhaps putting a steering stabilizer on would help but wasn't sure if anyone had any suggestions or previous experience to point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance

Tahoe Steering Stabilizer

My '01 came with a front stabilizer bar,....I'm surprised your 2000 doesn't. I was getting a strange, violent progressive wobble after hitting a bump or pothole and discovered one of the centerlink/stabilizer bar end bolts were missing. Installing it helped a lot,...but the front end is still firm. Remember, ist's more of a truck than some mid level crossover.

I would have your whole front suspension checked out if its that bad.Sounds like your gear box is way out of adjustment or something is very loose.

I had the same issue. After buying a new steering box, the problem all but disappeared.
