I have seen two impala SS's come in the dealership with under 15k and shot tie rod on pass. side I have a shimmy starting up on mine. I plan to check mine on my next oil change. Has anyone else seeing any of this ?

Don't know if mine is the same issue. But I have this wobble sound on my passenger side and I checked the brakes, rotors, tire rubbing there is **** all. You hear the slight wobble when you are around 50-60km?

montyss07

could be the cheap rims they put on the cars?put on some winter tires and rims and now the wobble is gone

07WhiteSS

Good point. I will check the rims if I don't find anything with that tie rod.

Im having alot of poping in my steering. Specially while turning , not sure if that could be it :-\ . As for the slight wobble check the bearings in your rear wheels. i had both sides go bad.

There is some sort of recall/TSB about the tie rods. I complained about a "wobble" around 50-60mph 6 months ago and they replaced my tie rods. Didn't really help the problem, but rotating my tires did.

I have the same problem this bubly/wobly sound always occurs when I'm turning its like something is loose there.

Hey guys it isn't just the SS's I have a ltz that the samething happened. I cought it before anything else happened. And the deal always said that it was normal or couldn't duplicate it. When I brought it to the shop I have doe my algnments he said the tie rod was bad. I said oh really, well long story short GM refuned my Alignment Money.

I had the p/s tie rod replaced some time ago...probably around 15k or so.

Sint3k...that popping you're hearing/feeling is the ISS...which is notoriously bad on all of the W-bodies. They'll lube it up for you and you'll be good for another 10k if you're lucky.

Iss ??

Intermediate steering shaft.........I think. :/

06MonteSS

yeah, have the popping still... they REPLACED the ISS (intermediate steering shaft) on mine, and it's still doing it, and getting "looser"... going in next week to have a new steering rack installed...

When i first bought my chevy i was optimistic that i would buy one like my grandfathers "One that won't have a problem for 20 years" So much for that :-\

Monte...the new ISS is not any better than the old, as you've found out. From what i hear, the new ones squeak more than the old, but don't fail as often. In all, you'd think over 18 or so years they'd have fixed the real issue behind all of the problems with it.

What makes you (or them) think you need a new rack?

06MonteSS

because immediately after the new ISS install, it was still making the same noise, still had a "loose" feeling... so they said since the ISS is brand new, the only other thing it could be is the steering rack and/or the boots moving when turning the wheels...

so they ordered a new rack, and I'm going in for my next service in a few weeks and will have that replaced...

Actually I just crossed 10K and the weather here has gotten cold....I notice some noise during steering slow manuvering....I checked the alldata leads me to belive the steering rack boots.....but it kinda feel like its comming from the strut.....
