Question
I have a 2001 Chevrolet suburban 1500. Everytime im driving and hit a bump or when the truck is at an angle going straight the SUV pulls to that side replaced both inner and outer tie rod ends. steering is also loose

Answer
Julian, sounds like a wheel alignment problem.have a 4 wheel alignment performed  and check for a BUMP-STEAR condition.It might have toe out from when tie rod ends were changed.I am assuming no modifications  were done to ride height or wheels and tires.
