Replaced The Intermediate Shaft

[Softtrim]

Real quick...2004 2500HD Crew Cab, 85,000 miles, typical clunk in front end...replaced intermediate shaft (number 4) with the NAPA part...still slight knock...replaced the green bushing in the column...still a slight knock (I can live with it) but the steering wheel is sloppy...approx. 1/2" or so play side to side.

Whats next? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I had the same front end clunck at about the same miles. At about 95,000 i had enough I went out and bought a borgeson sterring shaft for like $220. The play you might be feeling is prolly a worn sterring part like an idler arm or a tie-rod. Napa has lifetime warranty steering parts for gm. also make sure you torqued the 2 bolts holding the shaft to 60ft/lbs
