G9: steering noise
Hi. I have a lifted G9 with steering noise/clicking. The noise is right on the steering rack where the bolt has some play in/out. I believe the idler arm connects to it. It makes noise when driving. How can I fix this? Thank you

Re: G9: steering noise
I could not tell you why it's making that noise. Have you taken the cove off to look at the inside of the steering box? Make sure that it has grease inside it?

Re: G9: steering noise
There are bearings above and below the worm gear that is built onto the steering shaft. You wouldn't think they get much of a work out compared to bearings in other applications, but I've seen a few that came out in chunks and pieces.

Re: G9: steering noise
Take the 4 10mm head bolts out and remove the cover pate. Pack the box with grease. Reinstall the plate. His the front end jacked up, loosen the 10mm jam nut on the pitman adjuster screw. turn the screw in 1/4 turn. Use your finger to turn the steering wheel from "lock to lock". Keep turning in the screw 1/4 turn till you feel a "bind/catch" while turning the steering wheel. When binding is felt, back off the screw a 1/4 turn and tighten the jam nut. Without taking the box apart to check bearings/ worm shaft/pitman arm pins, that is the best way to get the clunk and wheel play out. Good luck
