Default Steering Tapping?

Everytime I turn my car left or right I get this little tapping in the steering wheel. I don't believe that it is coming from the front end. Just wondering if anybody know's anything a bout the steering colum itself. Do I need a new bushing in there or it needs to be tightened? Any help would be great. Oh yeah it's on a 04 SS.

Had a Cutlass that did the same thing. Took it to a dealer, they couldn't find anything wron and said it should be ok. Drove car for 10 years after, then sold it. No worse for wear. Yes, a little annoying though....just drive in straight lines?!

Thanks for the info. Also is it very hard to put the lubricant in? Do I have to take the steering wheel off?

It's pretty easy to lube the intermediate steering shaft yourself. Took me about 30 minutes. Here is someone's walkthrough you may find useful:

Good luck!

I had a steering box recall on mine. You might call a dealer and see if your's is defective
