Four problems related to steering have been reported for the 1998 Chevrolet C/k Pickups. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Steering: I am having problem with the steering when turning right during a long turn, it feels like I hit a patch of ice or like someone grab he steering wheel & jerk it to the right. This problem does not seem to be getting worst but I do not like the feel. Someone who does not know about this problem when driving the truck could over steer.
When I bought my 1998 chevy pickup it had a place in the steering when I turned it to the right it felt like I hit a patch of ice. It felt like there was a dead spot. Now it is getting worse. Now when I turn to the left it is starting to do the same thing. It doesn't matter what speed your going it still does it.
Every so often it feels as if someone grabs the steering wheel and for a breif moment it feels as if there is no steering.
My 1998 truck has had a spot in the steering that when you are turning there is a momentary lost of steering. It seems to happen when there is cooler weather. There also seems to be a lot of play in the steering wheel at times . Both of these problems come and go but have been getting worst over the years.
