Just bought a 2002 LS Tahoe 5300 - steering klunk question
around 26k miles. I have been reading about the steering issue on these trucks and I definitely think something is loose or rattling with my steering. I kind of feels like a klunk, klunk, klunk when making a low speed turn. Is this covered in TSB 03-03-08-002 or are there others?
I haven't driven a truck full time in years and am coming from a 01 BMW that had incredible steering. What other issues should I be on the lookout for with this truck? I believe the first big service appt is at $30k miles, correct? thanks, KSII

Re: Just bought a 2002 LS Tahoe 5300 - steering klunk question
Pretty much the steering shaft klunk you here can be sucessfully addressed by the lubercation procedure in the TSB.
Major services on GM vehicles occur at 30, 60,90 and 100K Your owners manual will have the breakdowns.

Thanks
I took it in this morning and the service guy knew instantly what I was talking about and got it back to me within two hours. The steering feels great now. He said the fix should take care of the problem for the foreseeable future, but I assume that means around 6 months?
It is not that big deal to take it in twice per year for this, I will try to coordinate it with oil changes or regular services I guess.

my 2002 had the same problem but it is fixed under warranty.the steering intermediate shaft is bad.it is a common problem and the dealer can fix this in under 2 hours,at least that is how long it took them to do mine.the new unit they install is improved and they say this problem shouldnt happen again.
