While driving at any speed, steering wheel shakes, slightly, yet noticeably. Any speed. The shake is consistent, feels worse when turning or(drifting) right I on freeway. Have had steering gear box, pitman arm, and road force balancing performed, to no relief. Upon self inspection, left wheel seems (tighter) and not as loose to hand manipulation, right wheel is noticeably loose with slight noise indicative to a loose or worn tie rod. Vehicle was purchased new. It has been to 5 gm dealerships to attempt a fix of this problem. A lawsuit was finalized April 2019. Gm was forced to compensate owner yet no fix was performed.
