I have a 2003 chevy Tahoe. The steering linkage is making a noise when you turn. The dealership told me it was a design flaw on all gm vehicles for a 5 year period. They would not replace the part at no cost because it was not a recall. I have a fear the linkage may fail.

A dull thumping noise was heard starting a couple months ago. It occurred any time the steering wheel was turned, even the slightest. Very annoying! as it got worse I took it to my local Chevrolet dealer and was told it needed a "supplemental steering shaft" (part #88963611/shaft). That part is on national back order and I was told by the dealer's service dept that it may take four weeks to get it.
When vehicle is traveling straight or in a turn there is a slight bump in the steering wheel almost like the steering wheel is lose.
The owner heard a "clunking" sound when backing out of driveway. While traveling on freeway, the owner noticed some play in the steering wheel and tried to pull over. The truck failed to respond to the turning of the steering wheel. The truck was looked at by a mechanic who stated that the steering linkage had failed.
