Re: Steering Issues
Alright - Pitman arm is disconnected and the steering wheel is smooth and easy to move side to side. So guess that means I need to go next to the tie-rod and disconnect them - so I can see if one of the ball joints are screwed - I cannot imagine it is anything else in the linkages.... I'll go get th...

Re: Steering Issues
Okay I jacked it up tonight and thought lets see if I can move the tires easy.... NOPE - does anyone know if I can disconnect the pitman arm and see if everything moves easy? I guess that would narrow it down to the linkages or the steering box wouldn't it? If it moves easy after the pitman arm is d...

Re: Steering Issues
All right this is happening this weekend - so help with the return line would be appreciated. Otherwise I'll make a stab at it blind... Is it the return line to the box from the pump - or return to the reservoir - I assume the box...

Re: Need to install a Tach
Feel free to price out a tach - but an easy way out might be a guage like the Scanguage II - it just plugs into your OBD port. Nice thing about that it also provide Transmission Temp and a few other goodies... do a search on the site - it'll pop up.

Re: Steering Issues
Okay - so took the van out for a little drive last night - and I decided again after looking that the linkages all look okay. So I am going to try the steering fluid flush - I did a little searching on the forum and if anyone can point me to some better direction for performing a flush that would be...

Re: Steering Issues
Any body know if these Vans have speed sensitive steering? Maybe I've got a shot sensor... I found the following quote on another GM repair site.... My guess is that 95 through current models have the steering sensor, but don't know for sure. If you do have a bad steering sensor and are mechanically...

Steering Issues
Okay so I want to know what people think of my dilemma - my Astro's steering seems to be a little loose and sometimes doesn't want to return to centre, sometime is pulls - one minute to the right - next to the left. I've greased up everything down below - nothing looks shot - idlers have a little pl...

Re: Brake whoas.
Exact same thing happened to me when I first got my van - and of course that meant new rotors and pads.... oh well at least I now know the fronts are good to go. Wish I had found this site sooner however because I would have done the 3500 upgrade.... next time!
