New Steering Shaft

[Logan]

Having regreased my 2001 DTS steering for about the 4th time.....for clunking.

I now see that there is a new replacement style has been released.

I dont have the parts #s etc in front of me. I will try to post those latter.

The new # is really cheap compared to the older style. Old was $400. New part is $77 at gmpartsdirect. They show a list of $138.

It covers:

Mote Carlo

Seville

My guess would also cover the Deville.

Plus a couple of other models.

The clunking that you are getting from your steering shaft, is it a fast clunk? Does it only happen when you experience uneven roads? The reason I ask, is because my Seville is doing this. It kind of sounds like when a front end component is loose, and wiggles around. It certainly sounds as if it could be the steering shaft, but I am not sure. Thanks for any info you can give,

No, its a low speed turning clunk.

GM had a TSB clunking and using a new grease.

The new grease is sticker....but turns out it is not a long term fix....

I just regreased mine...so I am ok for a while. Maybe 10k

Old shaft replacements were in the $400 range. The new ones are in the $75-80 range at gmpartsdirect.com .

The Seville unit is part # 10367811. I suspect the Deville is the same...but you better check first.

For Scotty....I think his Monte has this issue...it is # 10376429
