I own a 2002 Tahoe that I bought new. With in 6 months it developed a knocking in the front end. It sounded as if the front end was about to fall out. Part of the steering shaft was replaced and it stopped. It is now doing it again. Is there a steering danger that could possible cause an accident?

Tahoe 4WD 8-cyl

When vehicle was in over-drive between speeds of 40 - 43 mph, there was a vibration in the front end. Although the dealership has serviced the truck several times the cause of the noise is still undetermined. There was a loud vibration when the vehicle was in 2 wheel auto drive and at speed of 40-45 mph/1200 to 1400 rpms shifting into over-drive going uphill and or pull on engine. May be a torque converter problem. This was an ongoing problem which had not been resolved.
