Bump steer problem

[Touchdown88]

Getting a lot of bump steering with the new tires i had put on. Im looking for a fix to the issue and researching steering stabilizers but not finding many that fit on my truck. If u guys have any or know of any I'd like to hear about them. I have a 2016 2500 hd. Thanks

First I would verify that your alignment is good/correct, then the best steering stabilizer is Bilstein 33-196619 which is a direct bolt in. Does it bump steer in one direction or both ways? You Alignment is probably the issue.

I just had the tires put on and the garage aligned it. I do know that the garage aligned the truck with the stock tires on it and then put the new tires on, don't know if that would make a difference. The bump steer goes both ways when it happens. I was reaserching and I seen where the Chevys didn't have spots for stabilizers, could u possibly explain that to me. I don't really know much about this so I need some help big time. Thanks

Just to b clear the bump steer I am talking about is just the steering wheel shakeing back and forth a little when I hit a bump, it doesn't actully move my truck, just want to make sure im using the right term here lol

#PIT5052E: Steering Wheel Vibration Or Customers Looking To Add Steering Stabilizer - (Nov 10, 2015)

 

Subject:

Steering Wheel Vibration Or Customers Looking To Add Steering Stabilizer Models: 2011-2015 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD / 3500 HD 2011-2015 GMC Sierra 2500 HD / 3500 HD

 

The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.

Condition/Concern

Steering wheel vibration or customers looking to add steering stabilizer for the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra HD 2500/3500 models.

Note: On 2011 trucks with a vibrations felt in the steering wheel, follow published SI diagnostics. The latest version of PI0650 may be helpful in diagnosing this condition.

Recommendation/Instructions

The 2500/3500 HD trucks are not built with a steering stabilizer

A steering stabilizer is listed in the parts catalog group 6.865 (steering linkage shock absorber) and is available, but is not intended to address vibrations or brake pulsations. This part can be added, but is not intended to be used for a warranty repair.

 

Additional information: The 2500/3500 HD's are specifically built without a Steering Dampener Shock.

 

The explanation below can be used to give a more detailed description of how the 2500/3500 HD steering system functions, with respect to road input.

 

Steering damper's predominate influence is on large heavy impacts encountered during more extreme off road events. For smaller chatter/bump surfaces, the steering damper does not see high enough rod velocity to generate resistance force. For these situations, there is more mounting bushing compression than anything else. The 2011-14 model year 2500/3500 HD steering gear system features the same knuckle steering arm to pitman arm length ratio as the previous (2010 and older) HD model, but the steering gear piston diameter is larger and capable of higher pressure, which creates more viscous damping in the 2011-14 model year 2500/3500 HD steering gear than the previous (2010 and older) HD model steering gears.

 

Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed.

I believe GM did away with the bracket on the frame for steering stabilizer on the 2016 HD trucks. So you would have to come up with a mount.

I did some searching and i belive you are correct. I can prob fab on up no problem but my next question would be, is there any other option to fix the issue? The bump steering isn't such a big deal that I can't live with it, im just a picky person and want my truck to b perfect lol

Fox makes a 2.0 steering stabilizer, this was a direct bolt on, didn't realize the '16's did not have the bracket.

 

I believe Bilstein now makes a stabilizer as well but have not seen/installed one.

Bilstein BSN-33-196619 is the part number of the one I just ordered for my '15. Along with their 5100s all the way around the truck and cognito arms and keys. Pics later after tires and wheels.

That is exactly what I did, probably going to install the UCA's and shocks this weekend.

MW, I like that those UCA's have replaceable ball joints. Something like that will be the replacement on my truck once the factory UCA'S fail.

 

In the '07 NBS 1500 I had, that's how I ended up with a 3" lift kit.... it was cheaper than replacing the factory UCA'S when they failed ;)
