My husband and I bought this Tahoe in 2003 brand new. After about 15k miles, every time I hit a bump, it would sound like the dashboard or the whole front end was gonna fall apart!!! I took it in to the dealer, and they said that this was a known problem, and the steering shaft just needed to be greased about every 15k miles. SO, every time the sound came back, we took it to be greased. The last time we took it to be greased, the service manager said that the shaft was so worn, it was the worst he had ever seen, and he felt that it was very unsafe, so he replaced it with one that we wouldn't have to grease!!! As of today, my Tahoe has 118k miles and no steering noise!! YAY!!!
