Anyone Replaced The Drive Shaft With The New One?

[jdr7785]

Anyone replaced the steering shaft to fix the clunk? If so, how much did it run you? Where did you get it replaced at?

[flyboyron]

I had mine fixed about a week ago. It is quiet now.

 

I got my clunking fixed at the dealer. They replaced the yoke with part #20877209 under warranty. Truck is less than 2 yrs old and only 12,134 miles. They said this is a revised design part from GM.

What clunk is this?

[Stevens03]

Driveline clunk that comes from the slack in the slip yoke

 

You can just pack the slip yoke with grease too

Mine was replaced at the dealer. I only had about 8500 kms on it at the time.

what years did this affect? was this warranty?

[Stevens03]

All years from 99 up have been effected by this. Never understood why GM couldn't fix this one

[jdr7785]

I don't have a warranty, but wouldn't it be smarter replacing the whole steering shaft? And anyone know how much it would cost at a dealer?

Steering shaft? You said driveshaft that was clunking so which one is it?

[jdewolfe]

The drive shaft is not the problem, it is the yoke. GM replaced the yoke on my 06 and it was quiet for almost a year. The noise and clunk is already coming back even with the "new" updated part.

Is this the clunk that occurs when I get back on the gas from a slower coast, sometimes?

[jdr7785]

Oops sorry I was talking about the steering shaft

[jdr7785]

The drive shaft is not the problem, it is the yoke. GM replaced the yoke on my 06 and it was quiet for almost a year. The noise and clunk is already coming back even with the "new" updated part.

 

So would you suggest not to even mess with it?

That's exactly it!

 

 

As for the fix, I had the driveshaft replaced under warranty, little to no improvement...

mine does it every once in a while. i may grease it after i fix my windows that wont roll down switch panels with clips that wont hold the panels down or my center console lid that has a broken latch.
