Three problems related to steering gear box have been reported for the 1998 GMC Yukon. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I have a 1998 GMC Yukon that has a problem with the steering box and I have cotacted GMC customer service about recall #97v142000 and they said they knew of no recall at all for 98 Yukons and I know that it is by VIN #s but my vehical is having the same problems described in the recall on other Yukons. I am loosing my steering!.
A noticeable pull to the left when going around a curve that goes to the left, it will startle you at first. Possibly the steering box or related steering column. Has happened to many times to remember. Freinds of mine also experienced the same problem with 98 tahoe, I thought it was just my vehicle, then I did some research and there is a recall on this problem, which GMC says there is a potential for only like 45oo vehicles involved , but I believe there is a lot more. Please help .
On right turns steering wheel/ gear feels it is sliping on occasions, it feels as if the front wheels are sliding on ice for a second . GMC garage in el paso replaced steering pump, did not solve the problem.
