Question
I have a 1988 Chevrolet Caprice. My front tires rub the inside of the fender when I turn the wheels sharply. I've had the front suspension looked at and was told everything was fine. Any suggestions?
My first question to you is, have you changed the rims or tire size? A different-sized tire may cause your rubbing problem. If not, I would recommend taking to a shop that can check your alignment and possible front-end problems.

Question
I have a 96 Chevy S-10 Blazer. I have new tire and new front end parts. My truck wanders at 55 or above. Any suggestions?

I would check the condition of the steering gear first. Also, check the condition of the steering stabilizer if it is a ZR2, LS or SS. If everything is tight and within factory specs, aftermarket steering stabilizer kits can be purchased.
