STEERING:GEAR BOX (OTHER THAN RACK AND PINION)
THE FAILURE IS THE VARIABLE RATIO STEERING WHICH IS MEANT TO BE HIGH EFFORT\LOW RATIO ONCE THE VEHICLE REACHES A CERTAIN SPEED (10-20 MPH ? )(OR GEAR?) WHAT OCCURS IS THE STEERING WILL INTERMITTENTLY GO BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THE HIGH EFFORT -'CRUISING' RATIO AND THE LOW SPEED -LOW EFFORT -QUICK RATIO AT A SPEED ABOVE WHEN IT SHOULD REMAIN IN THE HIGH EFFORT MODE. I ALSO OWNED A 97 K1500 CHEVROLET PICKUP THAT ALSO HAD A VERY SIMILAR PROBLEM. IT HOWEVER WOULD STAY ONE WAY OR THE OTHER AND NOT GO BETWEEN THE 2 RATIOS WHICH AT LEAST MADE IT MORE PREDICTABLE. IT HAD A VALVE REPLACED UNDER WARRENTY THAT FIXED THE PROBLEM AT ABOUT 35,000.
