I have a 2WD 2003 Silverado. It just turned over to 30,000 miles, and the dreaded steering clunk is beginning to show up.

I believe I saw a TSB mentioned here a while back for this common complaint, but I don't know if it applied only to the recircualting ball steering boxes and not to the rack and pinion steering, which I have. Does anybody know if the revised intermediate shaft fix applies to my model and where can I look up the TSB?

Many thanks in advance.

Dan

  I repaired my BaKflip MX4 hinge. I found a broken Tonneau on Facebook . A guy sold it for $40. I was able to remove the hinge on that. One of the hinge is also tripped but I still have 3 hinges left and I used the hinge closest to the cab. It took me 2 minutes to remove the hinge. It was not attached with any glue. It simply slides out. Undoing the seal on the side is the hardest part and it just slides back in. I don’t understand the liability excuse. There is no reason why they cannot replace the hinge. Now it’s perfect again. I was able to replace the latch as well using the part on the broken one. I got lucky!!!!
