What would cause the steering to lock up on a '98 olds bravada? It just all of the suddenly locked up. Any one know what would cause this. Thanks

 

A little more info is necessary here... What were you doing when it suddenly "locked up". Are the wheels straight or turned? If turned, how far?

 

My '04 doesn't even have a steering wheel lock.

 

It has to be something in the steering column assembly. I've taken a few of these apart before but its been a while and I can't recall what does the "locking" in the column. Please can someone refresh my memory. I wasn't the one driving it when it happened but was told it was being turned when it locked. I'll try to get some more information from the owner. Thanks
