Steering wheel play on 2003 Suburban
I'm looking at buying at 2003 Suburban and have it for the weekend. When I turn a corner slowly and over bumps I can feel a slight play in the steering while, kind of like a knocking. Any ideas?

Hi,
I have the same problem with my 2003 Suburban K1500 LT 4x4 - however two different workshops cannot find anything wrong, loose or worn.
Does anybody have any other ideas?

That was the problem. I had theservice managertake a ride in it beforeI bought it and he knew exactly whatthe problem was. The service dept. applied the lube kit and it's fine now.

Where exactly do you apply the lubrication?
Most workshops in the UK are not familiar with this make or model.
I have the workshop manual so if anyone is able to refer to a chapter, page number or illustration that would be a great help.

Hello. I have an '02 Suburban and had the same problem several years ago. I took it to the dealer, and they said it was actually a recall issue.I don't remember exactly what they did, but I am sure it was beyond lubricating. You may want to check into a possible recall?

Thanks - any idea what the recall number was or is anyone else familiar with this recall?[/align][/align]Unfortunately I am in the UK and I don't think that a recall note would be effective here [

[align=left]I have the same issue. With a front wheel jacked, I can move the tire back and forth ( left and right ) about 1 inch. The other tire is stationary. I asked a repair shop and they jumped into telling me that the tie-rods are shot. Also, the inside of the pass tire is wearing down faster then the other side. I'm bringing it in over the weekend. I'll ask about the lube kit.
I'll post later next week what the results are....
