I own a 2001 chevy impala & a 2001 chevy tahoe. I had clunking noises coming form the steering. I took the impala to the dealer, they said it was the steering shaft and that they've been having the same problem with many other customers. Now I have the same steering/clunking noise with my tahoe. One of employees told me their on back order for the same part for up to a 3 month waiting period. So from my experience, two vehicles, the same company, the same problem. There's definitely a defect and I think there should be a recall a.s.a.p. For this steering shaft.
