[QUOTE="jackjare9455, post: 1885786, member: 64603"] History and update on this: I was going down a neighbors driveway, which was a lot of hard gravel rocks and rough but small potholes, and I just felt it ALL through the steering column. I could feel some of it as "play" in the steering wheel, my hand was holding firm, but you felt slop underneath, if that makes any sense. I checked the tie rods and the rack, and I had no play there. So, I made the adjustments and didn't feel it helped. However, I went back and re-adjusted again and I think it made a slight improvement in steering feel. I think you are correct, that the play has to be in the shaft itself. If I have my truck off, I can shake the steering wheel back and forth and hear an audbile "clank" noise. After tightening the "slack" in the gear box, I still hear the noise, but it is less audible. I had some older chevy trucks that I had to replace the intermediate steering shaft to fix steering wheel clunk... I might look into replacing the steering shaft components, to see if that alleviates the issue, like you mentioned. [/QUOTE]
