I'm still annoyed by the front end or steering rattle I hear and feel when off-road. I've searched and searched but cannot find the source. I noticed our work Canyon is now starting to do it too. So a bit of research on other forums found that there is a similar problem on Silverados stemming from the intermediate steering shaft. Something about grease leaking out or not being distributed where it needs to be. I have no idea if ours is similar or not but I figured it's worth a shot!
So I followed one guy's fix which involved tapping a hole into the shaft and screwing in a zerk fitting then filling the shaft with a heavy duty grease. I figure worst case is the rattle is still there but maybe dampend a bit. I'll report back sometime next week. lol
