TxCrew Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 so you pretty much get it nice and lubed by giving it a good ol fashion wacking? plain and simple.. whack it a few times to get rid of the clunking..lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meegs Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 (edited) I do this to all of the 03+ chevy trucks that come in. I tell the customer that I fixed his clunking for free, and all of a sudden I have customers for life over a simple fix.

VR4Rob Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 +1 for this fix! I did this a few days ago and it got rid of all my steering clunk and made the steering feel much more solid. Probably took me 7 minutes start to finish and I could probably do it again in 3. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimJenson Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Wow, a huge thank you to the original poster for this piece of information. I removed the bolt, and after some effort to free the stuck shaft, if finally moved towards the firewall freely, I did the pump thing, and poof, no more clunking. Even with the stuck shaft, still only took 5 min's. GREAT TIP, My personal thank you to the OP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
