ISS= Intermediate Steering Shaft... it's the shaft between the rack & pinion and the steering column.
I did mine with the grease kit GM sells for it for $8 my cost (like $12 normally, I believe) and under an hour of my time.

I sometimes felt it when braking but mostly felt it when turning. I put it up in the air and checked the front suspension and everything was good. So I did some research and found out about the common ISS problem. Bought the grease kit, greased it up and it's been fine since.

RE: ISS Self Fix??
I had mine replaced for me in my '01 SS. They are ALL crap from what I'm told, and hard to find a new one. Good luck on the fix, but if fixed early enough, it should work. I'm told that the manufacturer used the wrong grease when they were built. My 2 Impalas were both re-greased. The splines in this require too tight of a tolerance to feel right. Just a crappy design.

So what happens to the ISS over time if you don't re-grease it?
BTW: That RocknSS ID looks familiar.... 2KMC?
