 I have a 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 LT and have noticed knocking noises when i turn my wheel both ways, i was able to get under the truck today and look at whats going on while a coworker turned my wheel, the rack and pinion slightly moves side to side when the wheel is turned, it looks like the bushing is missing and i need a replacement. I am not sure whether you can replace the bushing itself or need to replaced the entire rack and pinion assembly. I was able to find a replacement bushing on car id but can't find one anywhere else.

Welcome to the site.

 

So, the bushing is literally missing from the truck, or is it pressed into the rack itself?

It looks like the bushing is there but it is missing the bolt that goes through and connects it to the frame.

Thank you!

It looks like it’s is still there but it’s worn down. I could be wrong but that’s what I see

I am totally new to these parts so forgive me for my ignorance, but I’ve done so much research and have yet to see a bolt that connects to the frame for this part... You are the second person that’s said that but I’m just not sure what I should be looking for because I can’t find anything on it

Is there a Chevy lot close by? Or do you know someone with this era truck?

 

Look underneath another truck and see what that one looks like.

 

I will see what mine looks like and take a picture, just thinking, do you possibly have a lift on the truck?

Think you are missing these: Gear Assembly Mount Bolt - GM (11569939) Short, top of rack.

Gear Assembly Mount Bolt - GM (11609229) Long bottom of rack.

You are very welcome.

 

Wonder if someone forgot to put all of the parts back when they were done?

Perfect! I just ordered them now.

I already bought the bushing so may just replace that anyway, and just ordered the bolts.

I don't doubt that at all. Wish i knew who owned the truck before me, i have so many questions about what they did to it.

Thinking the bushings are pressed into the rack, which means you need to have them "pressed" out and then pressed back in with a machine, rack being off of the truck.

 

Could be wrong, bit either way, good luck with this fix.

 

Time and miles will answer all of your questions about the truck.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By No1UKnow · Posted

      Hello All!   My 2019 Colorado 3.6 LT, 4WD Crew Cab has approximately 77,500 miles and I recently began experiencing the well-known transmission shudder between about 30 and 65 mph. The problem had worsened to the point that I could no longer attribute it to road conditions - and I had decided to bring the truck to the dealer - when recently, I experienced a sudden loss of power while driving at maybe 40 MPH. Several warning lights flashed, the “Check Stabilitrack” message appeared, and the Check Engine, Stabilitrack, and Traction Control icons remained illuminated. The truck regained driving power, but it stayed in a low gear with unusually high RPMs for the speed. (limp mode?) Because I was only about two miles from home, driving slowly, I was able to make it back and run an OBD-II scan, which showed fault codes U0101, P0700, and U0100. My next trip in the truck was to drive it to the dealer the following day. That trip began normally, but after about a mile I experienced another loss of power, along with the same warning lights and the same “Check Stabilitrack” message. As before the truck remained driveable, but again operated at an abnormally high RPM-to-speed ratio and seemed stuck in a single gear. About a mile later, the dashboard lit up once more, this time displaying “Check 4WD.” Soon after that, I arrived at the dealer. I have verified that the truck still has its original factory transmission fluid, which means it has never received the corrective fluid exchange outlined in GM Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355.  That was Thursday of last week and I've heard nothing yet from the dealer.    According to Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355 and the build date of my truck, my truck should have the newer LV fluid. I've done a little research and read something about a problem with the wiring harness as well.   Anyone have an insights into this situation?  Thank you!!

      Gas Prices

      By PhilB · Posted

      Did you even read this article?   Even the title of the article says "U.S.-Iran Deal Doesn’t Mean a Swift Return of Oil and Gas Flows"   Remember, crude oil prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the oil companies.  Gas prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the station.  This article stated that many of the oil producing nations have to restart their processes to get the oil produced.  Then the oil has to be shipped to wherever.  And it doesn't get there overnight.  And most of that oil is not coming here. Check out this site:  https://afdc.energy.gov/data/10621   A graph will pop up to show where the US imports their oil from.  Notice that there isn't a lot of import from OPEC and Iraq.  Most of the US import comes from Canada. The US oil produces are selling their oil on the open market, which is why the US fuel costs went up.  So you're correct, the US oil companies are going to slow walk the price downward.
