Hey guys, i had my intermidiate shaft replaced under warrenty due to the beginning of a clunking sound. it was done about 6-9 months ago and the ticket said replaced with updated intermidiate shaft.

i was wondering if they fixed it so the grease wont dry out or whatever the problem is with the shaft or does GM just replace it with the same part?

the reason i ask is becasue it feels like the clunk is starting to come back. it happens when im sitting still and i turn my wheel left or right. is this just because of resistance while the truck is sitting still on pavement or is the intermidiate shaft going bad again?

thanks for the help.

 

Anyone?

 

a new design shaft was released last fall..it ends in 14...163514,or something like that..

its a greaseless design,and 100% eliminates the problem.it lists for 90 bucks,but we sell em for about 69$....

and no,gm is not recalling them or opffwering any help...i guess they figure its not a safety issue,and the part is cheap enough.

again...make SURE you get the new design...ending in 14

 

Argon can you confirm the part # so that i can make sure my dealer installs the right one?

thanks for the help

 

yes,i'll look monday morning and post it...e-mail me if i forget

 

ok...got 1 in my hand..the NEW AND CORRECT shaft is...

#19153614

 

thanks argon, they looked up my number when i got it replaced last time and that was the number they came up with, so they are going to look at it again and check some other things out.
