that is their favorite anwsner.not a saftey issue.you can drive it untill the wheels fall off.that dam clicking drives me crazy.you spen that much money on a car and they put a defected shaft in.and new about it.keep on putting the same iss in the following year cars.did you look at gm stocks today.that is scary.the goverment/us the tax payers will not let gm or ford fail.

there are a model of shafts that were recalled. from napa or something.
do we have to replace it or can we just fix the clicking problem by lubing it?

looks like i get to join this club of POS steering shafts. just took my monte to the dealership today because of some clunking in the steering. just as i suspected, it was the intermediate steering shaft. luckily it was still under warranty so it was covered. they said they put a 'better' shaft in that was a better design so we'll see i guess.
