2004 Silverado crew cab has rattle around steering

Rear disc brakes? My '04 KT2500 HD used similar "floating" rotors. Also, be sure to clean up or replace the metal guides the new pads ride on, mine have stuck and caused severe wear on the inside of the rotor, while the outside pad had minimal wear. I used a file to smooth up the notches on the pads and some steel wool to clean up the salvageable clip-on guides. Check the steel brake lines while you are down there for rust/corrosion, this is an issue for these trucks.

That is if you have the same braking system as the 2500, if not these guys have a series of great videos pertaining to your specific model.

2. Remove or disconnect the following:
   
   Tire and wheel assembly Caliper and rotor Wheel speed sensor and brake hose mounting bracket bolt from the steering knuckle Electrical connection for the wheel speed sensor Front drive halfshaft assembly on four wheel drive models Hub and bearing assembly mounting bolts Hub and bearing assembly O-ring seal from the steering knuckle bore (2500 series)
   
3. Clean and inspect the O-ring seal

To install:

1. Clean all corrosion or contaminates from the steering knuckle bore and the hub and bearing assembly.
2. Install the O-ring to the steering knuckle (2500 series).
3. Lubricate the steering knuckle bore with wheel bearing grease or the equivalent.

First try rotating the tires to the rear. Does it go away? If you apply the brakes does it pull to the left? Could be a draging caliper or the slides may be hanging up.

Could be a bad vacum dump switch on the brake pedal. There is 2 switches on the brake pedal one for brakes lights and one for cruise The cruise switch must be pushed when the pedal is up. Or your servo under the hood is bad To identify the parts go to the parts store and look at them and you will know what to look for

oil change reset? do you have steering wheel controls? if so cycle thru to where it says oil life and hold the arrow button until resets
