On a 2000 chevy express v6 2500

Think I may could use a new one because the steering isnt really bad as far as reaction and smoothness but the steering seems kind of "loose", sometimes its fine others times it seems like I dont really have full control of the van like im kind of floating so to speak.. Alignment is pretty good. I have jad new tie rods installed already.

 

Usually the only hard part is getting the Pittman arm off

 

If you have only replaced the tie rod ends you should look at the pitman and idler arm first before replacing the steering box.

 

The steering doesnt neccesarily seem sloppy but lose is the best way i can describe it, feels like I dont have 100 percent control of the van but its still driveable

Seems like its more noticeable in close quarter traffic.

 

I would fix that with xanex, could be an anxiety gremlin issue. It has happened to me before lol..
