ISS sterring shaft
To max wedge or who ever,put my 2005 impala in the dealer today to get the solienod in the tranny replaced again,it was done 2 years ago ,thats all good,asked them to replace the iss shaft with new one i bought off of ebay but the shaft belonged to a buick regal and would'nt fit so they just put my old one back on ,they never greased it before putting back on,now that it was disturbed I have play in my steering wheel like some of the old ford trucks,like a sterring lash,when turning the steering when parked left to right the shaft is noisey and loose when driving now i really have to be carefull as the car seems like no steering and wanders,does this mean i have to replace it with brand new one?,there was no play or out of alignment before they removed the shaft just a slight clunking when turning left or right,is it possible the shaft got disturbed or put back in a different spot causing my steering play,seems like bad balljoints or tie-rod ends is the feeling i get through the steering now,thanks

Re: ISS sterring shaft
I found on an Impala site to spray White Lithium grease down the boot of the ISS and turn the wheel lock to lock several times and that will spread the grease around in there and take away the noise and gosh darned stiff feel. Sounds nuts, but I did it on my 2003 base imp and it worked.

Re: ISS sterring shaft
I would think twice about using that dealer again and I would also inform them of you findings and see what they say.

Re: ISS sterring shaft
Sprayed a whole can of lithium grease (CRC brand from Advance Auto) down the boot of steering shaft. Clunking noise went away instantly.

Re: ISS sterring shaft
Faulty Pressure Control Solenoid, GM knows about it, there are TSB about it. Harsh shifts when hot. The best and cheapest thing to do is call GM and complain. Their number is 1-800-222-1020. These transmissions are known to be defective but have yet to be recalled. I called today 6-21-2010. Ask for it to be recalled. If they get enough calls they will. Maybe

Re: ISS sterring shaft
GM was useless to talk to in this matter for me because I bought the car "used and abused" I installed accumulator springs from the transgo sk4t65e kit and it fixed the problem. easy to do, drop tranny pan, unbolt accumulator housing, pull pistons out, install springs and metal spacers, bolt back up, change tranny filter, bolt pan up, install fluid and drive like new. try this before anything else, total cost of job was about 140
