I have a 88 Chevy Suburban 2wd, 1/2 ton. When I turn my Suburban on the
steering wheel turns to the right on it's own, which causes the vehicle
to drift to the right while driving. Has anyone else had this problem
with a Suburban? Any help would be appreciated.

turn right.Pissed me off so much I sold it,Im still kicking my self for
selling it.Damn that thing was fast.....

Never figured out why.

You need to replace the steering box, I had this happen to me once when
my 89 4x4 burb was still under warranty. It has been fine since and that
was 13 years ago.

Tire pressures, wheel bearings, alignment, steering box, tweaked
frame...many possibilities.

None of these would cause this at vehicle startup, only in motion

That not what he said, he said when he turns it on!

But if it turns to the right before you even start moiving, it is the
steering box, , not the tires, brakes or chassis. There is a balancing
valve in the box that has gone bad.

The OP's description isn't very clear. If you go strictly by what he said,
"When I turn my Suburban on the steering wheel turns to the right on it's
own",
it would have to be the sector. If you assume that the above is incorrect,
it could be any of several things.
Until he says differently, I'd have to think that as soon as he starts it,
the steering wheel begins turning to the right. I may be wrong, tho.

Steering Wheel
