steering clunks when turning or moving over bumps at low speeds. I
found a few TSBs on it, but I don't have access to view them, Here are

me:

Usually caused by the lower flex joint on the steering shaft ,must be
removed and lubed, common trouble spot in many GM cars.

Thanks!

How difficult is something like this to do, my dad is visiting soon
would it be too difficult for one person or do you have to take it in
to a shop?
