My '96 steers hard
Ive owned my s10 for quite a few years & its always steered pretty hard. I always just thought thats the way they were but I drove one the other day that felt normal. Do I need a new pump? I would think that it would have gotten worse or at least gotten noisy if its been bad this long. Anyone? Todd?

Re: My '96 steers hard
In my experience with bad pumps, they usually whine when going bad or just idling. What does your fluid look like? Could it be in the column?

Re: My '96 steers hard
It doesnt make any noise. I havent checked the fluid (for condition) & havent even thought about the column. Ill have to get it inside & look it over closer I guess. Thanks...

Grease all the tie rods and linkages. One or more are probably dry!!

Take it to a lube shop. They have grease guns with air pressure. A normal gun may not grease the joint properly.

Re: My '96 steers hard
Fat tires/bigger rims, etc?
I had an 86 toyota truck that steered fine until I put wider rims and tires on the truck, then it steered like crap, but I didn't care because I thought my rims were cool  My 99 dime steers "easy."
