        The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.

        Condition/Concern:
        There have been incoming reports that after Bulletin 06-02-32-007 (Knock, Clunk or Rattle Type Noise From Front of Vehicle While Driving) was performed the noise was corrected for only a short period of time. The clunk noise can be heard best stopped or at slow speeds while turning. The noise can be duplicated with the vehicle sitting still and turning the wheel past 90 degrees in either direction and then as the steering wheel is returned to center the noise will occur. The noise probably sounds like it's coming from the I-shaft area or the base of the steering column.

        Recommendation/Instructions:
        Correction:

        remove steering column close out panel to gain access to the I shaft to steering column coupler.
        remove I shaft bolt. Either install a new bolt, P/N 7845238, or clean the bolt threads and apply thread locker, P/N 12345382 (in Canada, use P/N 10953489), or equivalent. clean threads of bolt and apply 3M thread locking compound (blue).
        Cycle the I shaft 10-15 times and then reinstall the coupler to the steering column and tighten the bolt to 49 N·m (36 lb ft).
        Spray GM Superlube, p/n 12346241, into the gap between the inner and outer shafts of the I-shaft for about 2-3 seconds. Wipe off any excess lubricant that runs down the outer shaft.
        Evaluate if the noise concern is eliminated, if it is install the close out cover.
        If the noise is still present, raise the vehicle and loosen (DO NOT REMOVE) the I shaft couple bolt to the rack. Pry in-between the rack and the I shaft coupler as the bolt is torqued to 49 N·m (36 lb ft). This is to ensure that the I shaft coupler in not clamping on the beveled area of the coupler.
        Revaluate if the noise concern ha been repaired.
        If the noise still exists replace the I shaft p/n 22687711.
        Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed.

          I took my wifes G6 into the shop today to have this issue looked at. It was solved by lubing the I-shaft and so far no more clunk. Still have an issue with an odd niose when turning the wheel from side to side when sitting still. This issue sounds like it is coming from the rack and will be taken it back in to be looked.
