well the 04+ the shaft was known to have worn in a bit. Gm had a "quick fix" a squeeze bottle of grease.... we had done this to FastKatts car a few months ago...fixed it for a little while..but it came back.
the steering wheel can be locked...it only slides on the rack one way. as there is a flat spot.
it would be a good time to replace it as all you would have to do is pull back the cover under the steering column from the inside of the car, and remove the nut(first), and then slide out the locking bolt. the bolt does NOT turn...only the nut.
then the shaft just slides out.
for some odd reason, I didnt get that dirty(just hands). Billy ended up taking the passenger side(he has a leaking CV boot). needless to say, he got quite dirty!!!!
LOL!!!
