Pilo Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 Hello I have a 92 brougham with a little problem, when I turn to the right with it the steering don’t return back, it stays at that direction. Everything else seems good, it’s not the wheel alignment that’s looks good also. So what’s going on here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Nunnally Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 If not the alignment, then the rack and pinion may be ready for refresh. Quote Bruce 2023 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing Follow me on: Twitter Instagram Youtube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Posted February 8, 2022 Report Share Posted February 8, 2022 I think that is the old full size frame car. No rack....has a steering gear box. Did you mess with the pre load adjustment nut? You likely will have better luck going to Google and search 'gm steering gear wont return'. Pretty much same style gear box used on RWD GM for years.....GM trucks, Buick, Pontiac, Chevelles, Delta 88, etc. There may be a difference in ratios...can't remember..

Pilo Posted February 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2022 Thanks, no it was like this when I bought it, but do you think it’s the steering gear ?because it’s only on one side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Posted February 8, 2022 Report Share Posted February 8, 2022 It's been so long since I worked on one.....I'm not the guy to ask. Tons of posts on Google for older GM vehicles talking about it. Caster settings in the alignment can cause it. You might have to find a older alignment guy who is aware of it. Caster concerns (and knowledge) kind of died off with FWD and struts. Seen some posts about a internal part the gear box itself causing it.

Pilo Posted February 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2022 Thanks for answer but the alignment is right I compared the shops numbers and the one that in the brochure they are the same. And I googled steering gear box but they say that there steering is hard too turn, mine is not is easy and the servo works is only when I turn on the right not on the left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockfangd Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 Welcome to CaddyInfo. A few suggestions here. I recommend jacking up the front end. Turn the wheel to the left, then to the right. Feel for binding. This is a long shot but you may have a sticky balljoint. If they are greasable I recommend greasing them well. There was an issue with the gearboxes occasionally but it has been a long time since I ran into one with the issue.

Pilo Posted February 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 Thanks, I’ll jack it up when the weather is better here. So you think is a long shot with binding parts? Are more into gearbox problem you mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockfangd Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 I have certainly seen balljoints bind. Especially the age, and there are 4 of them. Quote GM FAN FOREVER Nice, clean, luxury= fine automobile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
