Well acouple of weeks ago I strarted feeling the old clunkity clunk comming from the Intermidiate steering shaft.
The dealer took mine off and lubed it about 15k ago and now it feels just as shitty as before. Is there a replacement part from GM that does not do this?
Taking it off is not a huge deal but I have better stuff to do than fix crap that should not be going wrong in the first place.
Maybe if I do take it off I'll drill and tap it for a grease zerk if its possible to do so.
Anyone done this mod or know if GM had a recall on this part or a replacement?
Thanks.

 

They should not have lubed it, the most recent TSB has them replacing it with a new part, which fixes the matter once and for all.

 

Thats what the dealership told me when I got mine replaced.

 

I've replaced mine twice.

 

Take it to the dealership and they will fix it for free.Dealership told me GM IS FIXING ANY TRUCK WITH LESS THAN 100,000 MILES FOR FREE.

 

here is a web site to check for recalls. http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/pr...lls//Index.cfm I have found a few of mine for a used car i bought.

 

Thanks guys, I needed some amo before I went to the Stealership!

 

im on my 3rd.

 

I had to replace my rack to fix the slack problem. I wasnt buying another new steering shaft. The new rack fixed my problems. But now I have a bad lower ball joint.

 

Im on my 3rd one the one before the last was the "fix" steering shaft
