Steering clicking
Anyone have any problems with a clicking steering column? My steering is clicking when it comes to center from either direction and I can juuuust barely feel it in the steering wheel. Any one else experience this? :skep:

My steering wheel has clicked or "popped" on both of my LT4 cars. As long as the steering wheel doesn't fall off into my lap, I'll just assume it's a quirk.

Re: Steering clicking (spdrcrj)
GM has a service bulletin on this and I believe it still will be repaired under warranty. But check with your dealer.
It’s often described as “clicking” or “popping” coming thru the steering column. I had it repaired under warranty and they installed something called an upper bearing kit. I have no idea what was done.

The intermediate shaft is no longer available from GM, so you have two options...Contract a supplier like Corvette Central who sells rebuilt units or find a good used one from a salvage yard.

It is caused by worn joints in the the intermediate steering shaft which runs from the firewall to the steering rack. Common problem as the cars age.
