"Clunk" coming through steering wheel

[RatherBeLucky]

I just picked up an 03 Silverado 1/2 ton 4wd. occasionally, when I hit a bump I can feel a "clunk" in the steering wheel. It feels like it would be a steering shaft related part. Does the shaft assembly even contain a part that could be worn and causing this? Where/How do I begin to check?

rag joint between shaft and steering box also jack up front end and check for play in tie rods,ball joints,drag link

The steering shaft is known to do this there is a revised part available that corrects the issue, but as stated by badazz check the entire front end as well. But my 1st look would be at the steering shaft.

It's your intermediate steering shaft bushing. Just replaced mine for under $20 and 30 min worth of work. It will get rid of your clunk and smooth up your steering a bit. Best cheap fix I've ever done on this truck
