Re: 1972 C10 Steering Problems

I think the first thing I would do is slide under it and have someone start the truck and slightly turn the wheels back and forth. Check the pivot points at the pitman arm, cross link, tie rods, and idler arm to see if there is any play or looseness in them. It sounds like the idler arm may be worn out or loose where it bolts to the frame. If nothing shows up with that jack the whole front end up so the the wheels are off the ground, put some jack stands under it where they don't interfere with turning the wheels side to side, then have someone grab the tire and move it back and forth and check the same points. Also, take the dust covers off of the front hubs and make sure that the spindle nuts are tight. (presuming it isn't a 4x4)
Just some things to check. Report back.
Oh, and welcome to the board....
