Ok for those of you that are having probs with a steering pop, clunk or whatever you want to call it. I have a solution that worked for me on my old 2000 Silverado.
Get a can of WD-40 or similar lube, I used a spray lube because the straw made it easy to get inside the rubber grommet. I'm sure you could use regular grease if you can get it in there.
Lube the splines on the inside of the rubber grommet, in the pic you can see a white grease on the outside of the grommet I guess this it what GM now uses. This pic is of my 04 and it has allot of grease in there so I assume that’s how GM resolved this issue. I don’t know how long this do it yourself solution will hold up, but if it starts popping again just lube it again.
By posting this I am not saying it will fix everyone's truck but just that it worked for me.
Here's the pic, I hope his helps some of you.
