Intermittent Violent Steering Wheel Shake, or Vibration at Road Speed
On 1998-2001 Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon, and Yukon XL, the steering wheel may shake violently or vibrate at road speed after driving 10 or more miles.
The condition may get worse the longer the vehicle is driven, and may be aggravated by applying the brake.
The customer may advise that the shake or vibration started in the steering wheel and then spread throughout the truck, as they contin- ued to drive the vehicle.
When the concern is duplicated, place your left foot under the brake pedal and lift up on the pedal.
If the shake or vibration goes away, replace the brake booster assembly.
If the concern remains, continue with vibration diagnosis as noted in the service manual.
