Re: Clunking in steering

max you discribed this problem pretty well

i've noticed this in my 6 as well...
how much does the dealership charge to fix it?
would it be under my warranty?
or possibly a recall?

also... is this going to affect any other parts of my car
such ass my c/v joints or suspension?

no recall. if you have warrenty it should be covered

and it will not effect any other parts of your car

i should have read before posting, thanks ahuhn

Well I am now replacing my 4th rack in my 2005 g6...5 if you count the original.....GM is still saying that they have no problems with the racks........right...

Its just not a G6 issue, I have read that a lot of GM products have had a boat load of issues.

so does EVERY OTHER CAR. where there are mechanical parts, there will be problems.

But if the problems are not random and a particular part fail consistently, then it becomes a defect.

None of my other cars went through 2 steering racks and 2 i-shaftes in less than 3 years. I don't think that was due to my driving or my bad luck especially when others are having the same problem.

Re: Clunking in steering

Exactly, they have an obvious part failure....these racks can't even last 12,00o miles....I have a open case with the executive offices to have someone come look at the car as this is starting to get ridiculous........

Re: Clunking in steering

As long as the clunking isn't a safety issue, I can live with it.

Re: Clunking in steering

I had my I-shaft replaced a few weeks ago, the squeaking is gone but I still have a problem on the right. I can feel something like a clunk or jittering when I turn right, particularly at low speed or when cornering sharply. I will be taking it back in hopefully next week.

Re: Clunking in steering

I wonder if this is wat went wrong with my car? It makes a weird clicking noise and I never knew wat it was coming from. Then a few days ago I hit a curb and now the noise is more frequent and today I lost power steering all together. I checked the fuses and they're all good. They earliest the dealership can look at my car is Friday.

Re: Clunking in steering

my car has the clunk, and sometimes the steering seems very loose. is that related to the clunk? or is it something else?

[ahuhn]

Re: Clunking in steering

something else

Re: Clunking in steering

it doesnt do it all the time. for now its just once in a while but im sure it will increase. next time i go in for an oil change i will ask them to look it over

Re: Clunking in steering

I had my rack & rod replaced in like September and I've noticed this is coming back again.
I've heard they can just adjust the torque on the rod and lube it up and it will go away.

Steering is pretty lose again.
