I have a 98 Chevy suburban 4x4.when i drive it down the road the steering wheel jerks right and left mostly to the right especially when i turning right any ideal what this could be. i had 500 dollars worth of work done on the front end thinking this would fix the problem but i still have the problem.the repair shop does not know what it could be.

Hi:
If everything is tight on the front, the only thing I can think if is there is a bad steering box selector valve. I had a Tahoe and everything was normal going around a bend, then suddenly the steering would jerk like I just hit ice (but I didn't).

Here is a video of the box replacement

Let me know what you find.

"Thanks Joe"
I ask the repair shop guy, he kind of new what it was but i don't think he really did know how to fix it and if i had let him fix it he probably would of charge me a arm and a leg. i didn't want him experimenting on my truck so to speak.
I wonder if i can unplug that sensor? and if i can how can i unplug it and where is it located at?.THANKS
