04 Tahoe Steering Column Noise?

[schifty1]

What is the deal with removing the gas pedal.....I have a 02 without pedal adjustment..is it removed for for clearance

Mine had the same noise that normally comes from intermediate shaft but didn't go anywhere even with new intermediate steering shaft (replaced for no reason... well at least now I have the newer version). The real reason that caused clunks, was the lower steering shaft.

I just replaced mine today, GM discontinued the grease kit and the new part doesn't require grease. The great fix they cam up with was make the tolerances closer so it doesn't require grease and sell it for $90 bucks. Ask the dealer for a discount cause I paid $61 for mine from a Chevy dealer. Takes about 30 minutes to put in if you have the power adjustable pedals cause you have to remove the gas pedal and it is a PITA to put pack on.

i have power adjustable pedals and i didn't have to remove any pedals to replace my ISS.

Does this apply the 2005 Suburban 1500 too? My dad's has this dry grinding noise when steering at low speeds. You can feel the noise in the steering Wheel.

ISS does not make a grinding noise. More of a clunk feel in the steering wheel.

Ok. Thanks.

Have anybody got an idea what the grinding noise is?

My Suburban does the same thing but only while turning the steering wheel one full turn or so. More like a rubbing noise than a grinding noise though. I don't get the "clunk" noise at all. I followed a Youtube DIY video and took out the lower bolt from the I.S.S and pushed it in and out like 30 times before bolting it back up. Didn't make one difference at all. Maybe time for a new one I guess...
