Default Buckle Felt in Steering Column

I am tring to figure out what the buckle is that I feel through the steering wheel at slower speeds. I feel it well during excelleration and when the brakes are applied when coming to a full stop. I can't find anything visually wrong. Thanks.

I feel the same thing in mine and I've been trying to figure it out too. I thought it may be something in the tilt wheel, but I can't recreate it by hand when the truck is still. I'm sure we will get this figured out.

It's the intermediate steering shaft. It is a common problem on our trucks.

Thanks, this will be the second time I have replaced that damn thing. I'll try the product you suggested.
