2004 Chevy Avalanche has over sensitive steering

[Dillin Wykle]

I have a 2004 Chevy Avalanche and while going down the  Interstate the steering is over sensitive and  struggle to stay straigh in Lane

 If you live in the Northeast, it more than likely needs a front-end overhaul - ball joints, tie rod ends, shocks, maybe hub bearings, sway bar end links and bushings, probably shocks, tires, and definitely an alignment after the work is done.

 

Or, it could just be you're running low-profile, super wide tires. That's just the way they are.

Mine is two years older handles fine. The original owner Put on tie rod ends that’s it with 178K.

Here in MA, my lower ball joints were SMOKED by 38k miles. By 50k, one strut, and both uppers were gonzo. Hub bearings followed not long afterward. The roads up here rival the 3rd world ...

 

And of course, cheaping out on metals doesn't help things much ...
