While turning the steering wheel, I could feel a clunking, as though the linkage was very loose. I talked with the chevy dealer, and they were aware of the symptom and it was in the steering column. They said it was cosmetic, but did not affect safety. They said it would cost about $275 to fix it, but it is not clear if that would be just a temporary fix. Sometimes, this symptom also appears while driving straight ahead, but most often while in a turn, particularly at lower speeds.

Steering in 2003 chevy silverado ..intermediate steering shaft. Terrible noise and vibrations can be heard and felt thru the floorboard. Had fixed after several complaints to numerous gm dealers. No one would acknowledge while under warranty. Now they say its a problem, all chevy's have it. This should be a recall situation even if its only because of the price we pay for the vehicles!!!
