I have a 99 denali or should say the wifes denali. it has 22's and drifts like crazy you barely touch the wheel and its everywhere, you drive like a drunk. i was wondering if i could put a steering dampner or do something if any one knows of anything i could do iwould appreciate it. thanks

check out the idler arm (steering linkage on the pass side) betting it is worn, the pitman/steering arm wears too but the idler is very common. while your checking things check balljoints and control arm bushings.. new poly bushings and a steering linkage tune up can make things night and day

Yup you need a new idler arm and pitman arm. My tahoe use to drift all over the road and I threw a new idler arm and pitman arm and got it aligned and it was perfect.

thanks guys i was under there tonight and there seemed to be alot of slop, worn busings and it looks as if it has been in an accident. will try the stock wheels to.
on another note does any one know of a big brake kit everyone i find is for the new body style. thanks again
