98 K1500 Steering Shaft wobble

[Steve's Chevy]

Well for me the play is past the joint in the column .... can't seem to find any parts though, maybe it's a dealer only deal

 

[98_k1500]

There is no other parts. Its just a straight shaft from the joint at the bottom of the column thru the boot.

So would that be called the intermediate shaft then...



Sorry for the hi jacked thread

The shaft itself don't have anywhere to have play does it? Its gotta be in that joint inside unless the bolt in the slip joint there under the hood is loose.

Mine is doing pretty much exactly the same thing. I wonder if there is a bearing in the firewall that is worn. It seems to me like something should be holding the shaft firm through the firewall.
