Extra weight LSX block steering slack
Can extra weight of LSX 454 Block on 08 C6-Z06 cause steering issues? Feels like steering wheel is sliding on the shaft a little like steering slack I guess.

well, just thinking it over...
the sterring rack is fixed on the cradle....
the cradle is bolted directly to the frame...
the frame holds the wheel/column via the passenger compartment....
i don't really see any possible slop between the rack and the column....
it is significantly heavier so it may be compressing the suspension more, creating a toe out situation when at the "new normal" right height....
i would suggest getting your alignment checked, i bet you're tires are being pushed out at the front...
good luck!
