I have an 05 and noticed a popping sound last summer in my steering section and had the right tie rod and steering shaft replaced. the popping is back and is also noticeable when i brake. I was told by a reputable friend that it was more than likely the steering shaft. I'm just trying to avoid a massive bill. anyone else having this problem? and is this something that is covered under warranty?

We had the same problem on our 04 Suburban. Basicly its a bad design and all the grease dries up inside. The replacement shafts have been redesigned and it is a fairly easy job to replace it at home. Do a search and you will find some step by step instructions with pictures.
