I went to go look at a 1993 k2500 suburban today it was a overall good truck but the one issue I had was that there was a bit play in the steering wheel and I wanted to know is there any common problems in the steering system that i should be worried about or should I over look it since it's a old truck.

 

How many miles ? Could be worn steering parts or the box itself is getting loose. After 100k miles anything is possible to be worn.

 

It has 280k

 

At those miles everything in the front end is worn out including the steering box.
