Replying to: shiftless1 (Dec 05, 2006 4:07 am) The wheel bearing grease is a GREAT idea!!! I just did it on my '01 Silverado and can add a few tips. Go to a store in your area that carries agricultural products/animal health care. I went to Farm and Fleet and bought a syringe for $1.99 and some plastic tubing to fit on the end. I then filled the syringe with wheel bearing grease and injected it into the shaft. I plugged the end with a cotton towel (you really have to jam it in there tight) and did the lubrication. I had to do it several times and it was messy - but my steering is tighter than its ever been. So for about $5.00 I think I licked this problem for some years now. Good luck!!!!

#16 of 139 Front End Shimmy by mbrantley Jan 08, 2007 (5:12 am)
I have a problem on my 2006 Silverado were the front wheels shimmy badly when I hit a bump at speed. It's not a front end alignment problem as I have had the front end aligned.

Replying to: efultz (Jul 18, 2006 9:45 am) Is it the valve going out in the steering box, mine was replaced I had extended warr. and it cost me $100 for it. I have heard of these being replaced or going out if it whines when you turn the wheel it is for sure the steering box.

#22 of 139 Steering problem by bater Mar 08, 2007 (1:54 pm)
My 2002 silverado, while turning at slow speed in 4wd, the right front wheel locks up then releases then keeps going thru that cycle. It also does it in 2wd but not anywhere near as bad. Any ideas what it could be? Replies to this message: jlenfert (May 13, 2007 5:08 pm) jlenfert (May 13, 2007 5:08 pm)

Replying to: bater (Mar 08, 2007 1:54 pm) power steering pressure hose is defective. Disconnected OK from steering box but unable to disconnect from PS unit itself. Maybe do not have the proper tools. Maybe a big job if the PS unit and everything else has to come off just to connect the new pressure hose. Help. thank you
