    Default Int. Steering Shaft

    Chunking Noise:
    Will greasing this fix it or is that a band aide fix vs just replacing it?

    I had mine replaced twice under warranty and the second time they said it was "the good new design". I guess they were pretty well right since it lasted a bit over 100,000 miles. I just had it replaced again a month ago and it improved the rattle, but it was still there to some degree. They then replaced a bearing that this shaft rides on and that solved it completely. The steering now feels rock solid like a brand new one. So if you do get the shaft replaced, have the bearing done at the same time. IMHO
