Re: 1996 to 2002 Chevy Express / GMC Savana Steering

I was wondering how the van finally turned out for you. How do you rate the overall improvement and did you get the results you expected? Worth the cost and work?

Re: 1996 to 2002 Chevy Express / GMC Savana Steering

Sounds good, as the proof is in the driving. The cross caster and cross camber you have both work against the crown of the road. It is probably pretty straight and easy on the right crown (2 lane)....

Re: 1996 to 2002 Chevy Express / GMC Savana Steering

On the newer ones, the "relay rod" is gone as is the driver side idler arm. The pitman arm on the steering gear attaches directly to the bar between the two tie rods.

The terms that I have heard...

Do you think a Hellwig 7635 sway bar would help with wind gusts? Link to PDF file: https://www.mediafire.com/file/0y0ei1nzoci/7635.pdf

I think the generator is in the way on most Chevy Class B's...

Re: 1996 to 2002 Chevy Express / GMC Savana Steering

Those are typical alignment numbers. There might be an update on the caster to make them different on each side, but good alignment shop would have the updated specs. This has been the trend on...

Re: 1996 to 2002 Chevy Express / GMC Savana Steering

I dug out a few numbers on specs. Not specific to your model and year, but typical. They are from the 96 Rpoadmaster and our 07 Chevy van. Basically, everything other than the ball joints should not...

Re: 1996 to 2002 Chevy Express / GMC Savana Steering

Sounds like a plan. From what I have heard, they generally say use hand pressure to move the tie rods to check for looseness, and I think that would apply to the relay bar also. They should stay in...

Re: 1996 to 2002 Chevy Express / GMC Savana Steering

Ours is an 07, which is after the minor redesign of the front end. They eliminated the 454 engine option, and it appears, shrunk the engine compartment, which also probably moved the suspension...
