A month ago I took my 2001 Chevrolet ext cab Silverado in for service because when I drove across parking lots with minor bumps I could feel a rattle in the steering wheel. They lubricated the intermediate u-joint in the steering column, there was gm kit provided for the repair. Currently the steering feels loose and the vehicle drifts while traveling down the road. I personally jacked up the vehicle and assessed for looseness. The problem appears to be in the steering column. A clicking noise can be heard and felt when the steering wheel is turned back and forth. I will be taking the truck in for service this week. I don't think that gm is correctly addressing this problem and it may lead to accidents in the future. If a manufacturer prepares a kit for repair, it tells me that they have had numerous complaints of the same type of problem. I feel gm is taking the cheap way out by lubricating vs. The high cost way or replacing the faulty part.

Steering sensor goes out mainly at high speed. Steering gets real tight. Faster consumer goes. When vehicle slows down steering is so loose, it's like being on ice. Problem is intermittent. It's been repaired 10 times for the same problem there is no remedy. The sensor had been replaced five times but the problem still not solved.
