Clunking while steering right at low speed

[Murphster05]

Hi all, I am wondering what is going on and how to deal with it. I am getting a clunking sound when turning to the right at low to moderate speeds. I looked at the steering shift and it seems to be in good shape. I can't feel the clunking in the wheel, but I can feel the clicking/clunking in the floor, or somewhere, not completely determinable where the clicking is coming from, but it's not in the wheel. Where should I start looking and how do I determine where the noise is coming from without going to an outrageously priced dealer!

Thanks for any help you can provide.

When this happened to me, it was the intermediate steering shaft. I bought the lube kit from a dealer, performed the install, and the noise went away. Others have replaced the shaft.

Would I be able to look at the steering shaft and determine if it is the problem? was your issue uni directional as well? It is a 2001 Silverado 4WD, forgot to mention that.

Thanks!

In my case, I noticed the clunk when turning into my driveway. I only noticed the clunk when there was a bump (like turning into my driveway). So turning right at a stop sign I did not notice it.

I also did not feel it in the steering wheel and as an ex-alignment guy, I though it had to be something in the front end. I could not find anything wrong with the front end/suspension and found this website. I decided to try the lube kit (I think it was $15) and it fixed my issue.
