I had noticed a noise in steering recently, went to dealer and was told that there must be dust around the steering column. Had been on vacation and not driving car for a month or more, then 11-14-11 it was something very noticeable and I drove directly to dealership to be checked. They charged $96. 00 to diagnose the problem and replaced steering shaft #25937479 shaft (06524-c). My total bill was $312. 86. Is this any part of my warranty coverage?????.

Steering issue with 2007 Chevrolet Impala. When making turns, I can hear and feel a clunking noise in the steering wheel. The vehicle only has 700 miles on it. The dealer is supposed to replace the steering shaft when the part is available. I went to the dealer twice with this concern. The first time, they just lubed the steering shaft. That did not help the problem at all. Two days later I went back to the dealer, and that is when they said they will replace the shaft.
