Buick Lucerne Steering Wheel Noise

Question: I recently purchased a 2007 Buick Lucerne. The steering wheel often makes a clunking noise when I make wide turns. It just doesn’t seem right to me. Have you seen this before?

Answer: Yes, of course it’s under warranty due to its age. So take it back for free repair. I’ve seen what’s called the “I shaft” in the steering column cause such a noise. So tell them you want the I shaft replaced. One of my customers had his replaced at the dealer for free. It still makes some noise, but is a LOT quieter now.
