steering question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am running 32 inch tires.

When I am going really slow and turn really sharp like in a parking lot it fells like the wheel is going to fall off. Like it is wobbling or something? Is this normal. Nothing appears to be loose?

Thanks

does it feel like the steering wheel is gonna fall of or and actual wheel? I think your gonna need to explain a little more on what it feels like.

if it's the actual wheel that feels like it's gonna fall off...assuming we're talking bout your k10...maybe the hubs are engaging....you got manual or automatic? I remember when i first engaged my hubs and then backed out of a parking spot in fourwheel drive and turned sharp and the frontend felt like the wheels were bent and wobbling..thought i broke something. maybe that's what it is? Don't have a front locker do you?

It feels like it is lurching or the wheel is warped(not steering wheel). I have manual lockout hubs on the front. and they are in free position? But only when going really slow and turning really sharp

I have a '97 Jeep Grande Cherokee with 4 wheel drive and it does the same thing. I do not have it in 4 wheel drive. Is it normal? I don't know. I haven't had it but a couple of months. Bought it used.
