Knock in steering wheel???

[pacokarp]

I have a 2016 2500HD Silverado, 4x4, crew cab, LTZ gasser.  I had a knock in my steering wheel and thought it was just the upper or intermediate shaft but have replaced both and knock is still there.  At 67000 miles the dealership replace inner and outer tie rods both sides, both front hub assemblies and the pitman arm and I STILL HAVE A KNOCK IN MY STEERING WHEEL AT SPEEDS UNDER 45???  WTF could it be still?  My truck has 80000 miles on it today.

hello,can you feel it or hear it,   once in a while i noticed my 2015 Hd has some sort of knocking or maybe a little play i feel in the steering wheel when turning slow or maybe going around bends slow.    shafts are tight as is the whole linkage.   kinda of thinking its in the steering box.

I would bet its the steering box. I just replaced my upper shaft and that helped a lot, but I have play in the wheel and its from the box. I have 57k on my truck.

Thanks for chiming in guys, I too thought it was the steering box but had not messed with it yet.  I DID FINALLY FIND THE ISSUE AND GOT IT FIXED NO MORE KNOCK!  Drum roll please, it was my telescoping steering.  I chased after other option and never tried the easiest one.  I released my telescoping steering and pushed and pulled the steering wheel in like ten times or so and then re-set it, NO MORE KNOCK!  I think pulling and pushing the steering wheel in distributed some grease throughout that shaft and made the knocking stop or maybe it was even simpler than that and the locking lever on my telescoping steering was just not fully engaged.

Only felt it in the steering wheel, could not hear it.  SOOOO GLAD I figured it out.
