#172 of 1497 Re: Steering clunk [jgmilberg] by davidw1 Mar 25, 2005 (9:39 pm)
Replying to: jgmilberg (Oct 26, 2004 12:44 am) My 2001 Silverado 4WD has the intermediate shaft clunk, less than 30,000 miles, but past 36 months. Dealer referred to a service bulletin recommending lubrication (at my expense) after extended warranty declined repair. I was not impressed since grease is not a durable solution to relative motion between components so I declined their quick-fix. Is GM backing this repair? Extended warranty did cover the low speed ABS activation repair. Replies to this message: mikepersing (May 01, 2005 6:37 pm)

#175 of 1497 05' z71 Silverado - 4x4 noise by raichinup Mar 28, 2005 (10:06 am)
I've recently bought an 05' silverado z71 package. I traded in my 97' silverado z71 for the upgrade. Everything is great with the vehicle but I've noticed some noise coming from the front end when 4x4 is engaged. Noise sounds a bit like old ball joints and is loudest when making turns and also when accelerating. No noise when off the gas going straight. Does anyone share this issue? Is it something I should worry about? Do new vehicles tend to be a bit noisy during break-in period? Please help. Thanks. Replies to this message: litew8t (Jun 01, 2005 2:55 pm)
#176 of 1497 Intermediate Steering shaft? by pavermanter Mar 29, 2005 (2:00 pm)
My dealer just replaced my intermediate steering shaft due to it making a clunking sound that you could actually feel in the steering wheel. My question is this, What is the actual cause of this problem? It really made a huge difference, NO clunk, and nice and tight!
#177 of 1497 Intermediate Steering shaft? by pavermanter by shiftless Mar 29, 2005 (6:43 pm)
INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT is connected to the Lower Steering Shaft through a spline. The "CLUNK" is a loose spline rattling. A quick fix is a new Intermediate Shaft but most likely (in time) the clunk will return. At that point I recommend that you purchase a kit for about $15.00 to relube the spline. The most important part of the kit is a special plug! Included also in the kit is a syringe of lubricant. My advise is to replace the grease in the syringe with a good quality wheel bearing grease. This will make the "relubing" last years longer. Instructions in the kit are quite easy to follow. Replies to this message: jerrywimer (Mar 30, 2005 4:17 am) pavermanter (Mar 30, 2005 5:24 am)

Replying to: shiftless (Mar 29, 2005 6:43 pm) I was under the impression that there is now a redesigned steering shaft available that is supposed to fix the issue permanently under TSB?

Replying to: shiftless (Mar 29, 2005 6:43 pm) Thanks for the detailed explanation shiftless. I will keep this in mind for the future, however, I too was under the impression it was a redesigned shaft. Thanks guys for the input.
#180 of 1497 Re: 2000 1500 4x4 steering gear problem [65andy] by madone Mar 30, 2005 (10:22 am)
Replying to: 65andy (Mar 25, 2005 12:09 am) Well I can't tell you how but I know it is possible. I have a 2000 1500 Z71 with 165,320 miles on it. I am on my third steering gear box and it has started to whine and groan. It used to do it going left now it does it going in both directions. this one was installed at about 130,000 miles less than a year ago. Does anyone know of a place where we can buy these things by the dozen?
