Default intermediate shaft replacement

it that annoying clunking sound when i turn the intermediate shaft? if i don't replace it will it cause damage? I've heard of the gm steering clunk problem but i don't have a lot of info on this.

no damage..

as annoying a problem this has been...let's not lose sight that it IS just a rattle...not a safety concern

...but pulling it apart and greasing it up will help right? I have yet to get a good day to do this without rain.

to temporarily fix it..unbolt it under the hood and seperate the 2 shafts..then "stroke it" (insert sex joke here)about 15 times and put er back together..oh,you'll be amazed!
