i know all about the steering shaft clunk, but in my experience its most noticeable driving straight and not always over bumps, but always seems to constantly rattle. i've done hundreds of these. i had this issue with this truck already, put a new updated shaft in it all ready and the steering shaft rattle is gone. now i guess that doesn't guarantee that its not related or that one of the little ujoints on the steering shaft isn't bad, but its really loud in the left front, so i'm leaning somewhere else but still keeping it in mind.
