thats arguable, as a developing comdition it is just an annoyance, however the problem COULD progress to the point of a u-joint failure in the shaft ultimately eliminating your ability to steer. the odds of this actually happening are slim to none

Yeah, mine'* finally starting to sing. I'm just going to ignore for now, maybe I'll lube it in Spring.

This seems to be a problem with ALOT of 00+... any chance of a recall?

Don't even try. It'* a lost cause. Many have tried.

Much of the satisfaction you get even under warranty is totally dependent on the quality of the dealer'* service department where you go.

Thanks for the info. guys. I work with a former GM-certified mechanic so we're going to at least take a look at it and see what we think. Doesn't bother me a whole lot but if we can fix it I'd like to.

Thats odd you have a 2000 w/only 14k miles??

I have the EXACT same issue with my '02 SSEi. been in the shop several times and the dealer still has yet to fix. Only clunks to the right.

I am looking in my paperwork to verify if they have replaced. Still under warranty

Does anyone have a Service Bulletin on this I can take to the dealer?

Weird,on my '01 the clunking is more prominent when turning to the left.

Yep, 14K miles. It was my grandmothers. I was very surprised to hop it in and notice a "clunk" with such low miles.

Clunk aside, I am impressed with it'* performance. I'm pretty sure it could take my '96 Cutlass Supreme.

Thanks for the info. guys. Hopefully my mechanic friend and I can shed some light on it and at least figure out if it is the shaft. I'll post what we find out.

im pretty sure it will turn out to the be steering shaft... keep us updated
