What was your issue on why they had the bearing in the column replaced? I am having a issue and the dealership can't find it. It has a pop/feel when turning from one street 90 degrees to the next. But it is intermittent! Any help would be appreciated.

I checked all front end bolts and it still did the same pop feel. I took it to another dealership and they looked at it twice heard and get the pop. They replaced the lower steering shaft again. I was on my way home and believe I felt it twice. I will know more tomorrow on my drive to work. But I don't think the feel/noise is gone. The only other thing would be the steering column? I can push and pull while alternating and I can her the noise. Plus the wheel feels kind of loose. Can someone try this out to see if theirs is solid?

Oh and about the rear leaf springs. I had that happen on a Ford F-150 I had and this is nothing to do with the rear I believe. You hear it at the column and feel it in the steering wheel.

Ok everyone sorry I haven't been back in awhile. The dealership had me go for a ride after the steering shaft install to duplicate the problem. After duplicating the problem the tech said the rack and pinion is bad. Later that day I showed my coworkers the issue! We are all mechanics by the way. The one coworker said your steering shaft is bent. So I ran the truck back up to the dealership and showed them. They told me to wait until the put the rack in to check if it would straighten out. Fast forward to yesterday. They replaced rack and I check shaft before I left. It seemed fine to me. So I left drove And thought everything was good then it started happening again. The intermittent pop! I'm so frustrated I'm at a loss for words. like I stated before it isn't like it's the worst pop in the world. But man is it annoying having it happen every time you drive it! 48k dollar truck, two years old and having this happen. I don't want to try to fix it myself. But it might come down to this?

I'll check tomorrow at work. That's crazy if there going that quick. Did you have a intermittent pop?

No i can't imagine them being bad just yet! Just hit 19k miles.

Any info on this would be greatly appreciated! I have a 2014 Silverado 1500 that has a pop every once in a while on 90 degree turns, such as turning from one street to another. I have a short two mile commute. Today alone it has happened 4 times. It has been to the dealer three times in two weeks. The first time they said they didn't feel anything. The second time they said the dampeners that hold rack on where shifting, so they replaced them. The third time they said they definetly felt it and said that it was the intermediate shafts in the column and replaced them. I picked it up yesterday and felt a pop but didn't think to much into it. But then today it had its issues as normal. The dealer wants me to take it for a test drive with the technician. Though I don't think this will matter as you can only feel it and not really hear it. Does anyone have any ideas on what it could be? Thanks
