Clunking sound and feel in the shaft. Especially going around corners. Independent garage printed a GM technical bulletin on the problem. Dealership said that since this problem on the early 2004 models, GM has replaced it with a closed joint, Which leaves us with the cost of repair for GM's design flaw. Truck now has 85,000 and I have not have it repaired.

I have this problem too but Chevy tells me there is no recall. I can't get any help on any of it thru Chevy. I wish i knew the one who was able to get the recall so maybe i can get the information from them.

Mechanic had seen a few of these before on chevy trucks. An intermediate shaft in the steering was replaced.

I've had my mechanic install some kind of lubrication kit on the shaft. But, he's unable to get the kit anymore, said it's been discontinued.
I've had this kit installed every 6 months since I bought the truck, used May 2006.Flag ThisLike0 -

steering made a popping noise when I would turn right. There is a recall for this. I took my truck to a dealer and they fixed no charge. Works fine now
