Candidate cause (the documents say what to do)

Steering intermediate shaft clunk

A clunking noise under the hood that can be felt in the steering wheel and/or steering column.

Intermediate steering shaft clunk noise or stick-slip.

What to do

  1. When properly lubricated, there should be 13 mm (1/2 inch) of grease showing on the shaft splines.
  2. Replace the upper intermediate steering shaft assembly.
  3. There are significant differences between the car and truck procedures: the lubricant is applied to a different part of the steering system and uses a different lubrication kit, 26098419.
  4. On the affected trucks, remove the intermediate steering shaft from the vehicle and remove the spacer clip.
  5. Apply the contents of the syringe supplied with the kit into the open end of the fully-extended intermediate shaft.
  6. Insert the plug into the opening and tighten the wing nut.
