 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?

I should be around someone this weekend with a similar truck to mine, ill crawl under there and look. 

It does a leveling kit in it.  

 

Thanks!

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.

      The problem with failure rates or increase failures are there’s people who don’t have a problem. What are you doing wrong they say. We had 4 5.7 GM diesel’s in the family when they came out. One was flawless. My uncle who happened to be the most abusive. Early rotary engines were known to use oil. I abused my first car so bad in six months I replaced the clutch, transmission and rear end. It didn’t use oil. My brother in law has a 2013 Tahoe and an older Yukon. The Yukon has 280K miles. The Tahoe around 175K. He runs them to about 300K. If his lifters fail before that time he would consider it a failure. My Hondas, I know people hate it when I mention them. Identical engines. One with cylinder deactivation one doesn’t have it. One shudders when the eco light goes on or off. Cylinder deactivation. But wait! According to the web. It can happen with lock up too. So now people in the know are changing the oil and transmission fluid more often. Then you read it could be a programing issue. So what do you do? There’s lots of money involved. I see three ways to deal with it. One only works if you don’t drive lots of miles. Lease, never get out of warranty. Or only buy older vehicles with a good track record. They all have bad runs. Usually when there’s a change. Even Toyota and Honda.

      Question @diyer2 on this line if you please. Are you saying the shudder is the system turning on and off at the frequency of the shudder? Guess I'm asking if you are saying you have seen it do this with the bi-direction scan tool in graph mode? If so have you been able to discern the 'trigger'. Something is telling to cycle rapidly.    My truck just started doing this recently. 197K on the clock. My response has been M5 anything under 55 mph. I treat it like a lugging stick shift. Gear down and let it spin a bit. Engauge M5, then tow mode and then M6 lets the trans stay in 5th but the AFM is active. Smooth like Skippy.    My thought was that as a machine ages the friction gets lower and as the system is load based, the lower friction would allow it to turn on at ever lower rpm until it reaches the lugging point. And yes I am ignorant of any minimum rpm requirement for the system. If you know that would be useful information.    As you know I run a Scan-Gauge II which allows me to watch the On/Off of the signal to the VLOM. While in the shudder mode I'm not seeing is cycle at that frequency or at all for that matter outside the triggers @newdude posted a few years back. Now is it possible that the refresh rate isn't fast enough to catch it? Maybe. It is why I asked my first question about graphing and trigging parameter.     As we have observed from members here the failure point is all over the map miles wise as you note yourself in your opening post. That by itself begs a few questions like fellows that comment on these lifters failing even after the system has been disabled. Long after. 😬   https://www.enginelabs.com/news/tech-tips-replacing-ls-active-fuel-management-lifters-with-melling/   The Gen5 lifters operate the same as the LS versions. In fact they are the same lifter.    https://www.enginelabs.com/tech-stories/sorting-out-gen-v-lt-lifter-failure-with-a-simple-valvetrain-fix/

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      UPDATE 2: Steering wheel control backlights and control of the cluster can supposedly be achieved by adding a wire to pin 20 of the cluster and tapping it to pin 2 of the main clock spring harness. I'm going to give it a shot - will update

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By newdude · Posted

      GM Global A pickups 2019-2022 can do OTA programming for the radio.  GM VIP (GM Global B) can do OTAs for almost every module on board.  So a 2022.5 and newer pickup can do OTAs for recalls like the 2.7 fuel flow recall.  EVs get OTAs that improve one pedal driving, radio issues, HVAC issues, updated battery management software, etc.     So age of the vehicle/what GM electrical platform its on will alter what amount of updates can be pushed on OTAs.
