Intermediate Steering Shaft

BOSS · May 14, 2009

Does anyone know if this is covered under the powertrain warranty for an '05 with 36,476 miles on it?

Thanks

No, it's not covered under the powertrain warranty, but it's a very known problem and you should be able to get it covered as a "goodwill" repair since it's a known problem.

GM should take care of it, but don't quote me on it.

Just give them the bulletin#, that's all you should need.

#00-02-35-003N: Clunking Noise Under Hood and Can Be Felt in Steering Wheel and/or Steering Column (Replace Upper Intermediate Steering Shaft (I-Shaft) Assembly) - (Mar 26, 2008)

I just got this part form autozone for 75 bucks and will do this today
here is the part # 425-176

yeah, they aren't too expensive. the oem one from GM is only like $85 i believe.

you must be pretty handy, as it took me a little longer than 15 minutes to install

I have this issue on my truck. Went to the dealer and they said you can leave it or get it fixed. Its not broke so why should I spend $150 to fix it? When I am done with everything else then maybe I will pick one up and do it myself......

My inlaw's 03 tahoe had the same problem. They had it fixed a couple of times and eventually the dealer put an older model shaft on it. Problem solved.

is this part really worth speding that kind of money? especially when you can fix it be disconecting the bottom of it and jerking it up and down (or in and out if you prefer) a few times and putting it back together, this cures the problem for probably 10k miles and can be done over and over

I haven't replaced mine yet, but anytime you can scoop a better replacement part for something with a known issue I consider it a worthy upgrade...we carry them at work so I get a pretty decent price on them too.
