I have a serious rattling noise coming from my front left around the steering. I can feel the steering wheel shake when it rattles. I checked the shocks, bushings, cv's, but when I grabed the steering rod and shook it back and forth, I noticed a little play. What else could I check that you know of...or could the problem be in the steering rod? Thaks for your time on this matter.

The intermediate steering shaft will need to be replaced.That is a common problem in that year.You might want to check with your local GM DEALER because there may be a RECALL on that problem.

there is a lube kit for it also. This is much cheaper than replacing it.
