Steering Bump
 
Since i bought my truck in January, I've gone over it with a fine tooth comb. I even had the local Chevy dealer to a check to see if it had gotten all the recalls. I fixed quite a few things on it so far and got it running/performing like new. I have only one concern. Every once and awhile I have a little bump when I'm moving formward and turn my steering wheel. Just a little, hardly noticable bump, and its not from the road. I heard that these (newer) trucks have problems with the steering (intermediate shafts, steering boxes, ext.). Anything I should look for, replace, grease, fix? No noises come from it at all and it is smooth otherwise.

It needs the intermediate shaft...

They make grease kits,but it'll return.

The new shaft will end the problem...about 90 bucks Gm

Any way to install a grease fitting? Would it be worth trying to repack the shaft? I regrease my entire front end twice a year, I could repack the shaft when Im doin that.

you'd have to remove it to grease it
