Default steering column clunking...my turn with this headache
Just wondering if it starts out as mild clicking as the car flexes on take off and stopping?? I noticed mine is starting to click./

Sounds like the ISS. The dealer will either lube yours or replace it, then it should be fine.

Steering shaft. Happens to most GPs and Lacrosses that I've seen. It's also common on the old body Tahoes/Yukons.

The ISS can not handle the weight of the W-body and starts to wear away. It will start to dry up and then you will hear a noise and feel something from the steering wheel when you turn it. MOst dealers would just re lube it untill 2003, when they did come out with a replacement part. I guess now they have the same problem.
