How much should you expect to pay to fix a steering column on a 91 Chevy crs?

What it would cost to fix your steering column depends on what is wrong with it and you did not tell us. The tilt steering column in my 1989 GMC Suburban became loose in the tilt mechanism. I was quoted as much as $125.00 to fix it, but I shopped around and got it repaired for $60.00. Unless your steering column has the same problem that number is probably useless. I would suggest you call several shops and get a quite to fix it.

What would cause your steering column on a G20 van to become loose?

There are 4 bolts at the bottom of the steering column that tend to get loose after entering and exiting your vehicle.

If you do not correct the problem fast by tightening the bolts you will have to replace the entire steering column.. -Henry's locksmith and steering column repair


How do you adjust the free play in the steering wheel on a 1998 Chevy Suburban 4X4 5.7 L?

You can adjust the steering box some. Or possible ball joint problems. If the problem is lurches and surges in the steering (can feel like loose idler arm, loose ball joints, etc.), one common cause is a faulty steering position sensor. This $60 sensor at the base of the steering column (inside the vehicle) tells the variable assist power steering how fast you are turning the steering wheel.

Heavy electrical load and a badly worn and or loose belt that is slipping! There is a steering position sensor at the base of the steering column that tells the variable assist power steering how fast you are turning the steering wheel. When it gets faulty, there will be lurches and surges in the steering. Easy to replace, costs about $60 from GM.
