Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Intermediate shaft sticks and makes clunking sounds while driving. tsb suggested lubrication kit, that fix was not successful. replaced shaft, new shaft has developed same problem. the design appears flawed and possibly dangerous to have a steering component binding. to my knowledge there is no permanent fix for this and a new intermediate shaft with the same design is not a permanent solution. *nm
