i have an 04 silverado 2500hd. just started feeling a clunk in my steering wheel when i turn left. check ball joints, tierods, and front drive lines for extra play all look good and are in tollerance any suggestions

 

Probably the infamous steering (intermediate) shaft clunk. Have you serviced it lately. There is a replacement shaft or you can just grease that one every so often. It takes about an hour the first time 30-45 minutes after that. It should do it turning both directions though.

 

The intermidiate shaft is under silent recall by chevrolet.

Take it in and say you have the CLUNK and they should replace it no charge.

 

Won't the dealer only replace it for free if your truck is under warrenty?

I recently bought an 02 Sierra Z-71 with 125K miles that has a mild case of this issue. I did some research and came up with this place http://www.gmpartsdirect.com/. The part came to $67 shipped.

Hope this helps.

 

Recalls deal with every truck made by GM, warranty is different.

 

The intermediate shaft is not a recall because it is not a safety issue. I have replaced many of these for the same concern. Unless you have an extended warranty on your truck they will not replace it. The part is a little more than 100.00 dollars.
