It could be. There is definitely a clunking sort of sound. I could feel it in the gas and break pedals, almost like a clicking. Some have complained that the steering wheel feels loose and sort of rattles. I have only felt something in the steering wheel twice. So your clunking noise may be worth closer scrutiny??

I faxed back too. Thanks for the Manual help. J

YEP. Theory is the dampener in the lower shaft gets heated and then it is too soft/flexible and wiggles.
I've got about 4500 miles on my '07. Among the manycomplaints I'm only experiencing one. In traffic letting off the gas and getting back on it causes a clunking noise. Could this be the cause?
That same noise you describe went away too, it was that dang shaft!

My Hummer Dealer is about 65 miles away. I'd like to get somethings fixed but my H3 has been almost perfect. I may have to get a motel room.

That can be a problem Vader, I bought mine at a dealer over an hours drive from me but get my service at one closer, about 45 minutes away. HUMMER dealers aren't sitting on every corner so unless you're lucky ya gotta drive. It may help to get with them, explain how far you're comming and see if they'll give you a loaner car. Then drop that sucker off as soon as they roll up the bay door. You'll be so glad you got your steering shaft fixed, I can't believe the difference it made just changing that one part.
