It is the intermediate steering shaft, and it can be lubricated periodically to address the rattle. You can also have it replaced.

Mine does this and it is a 05 still under warranty. The dealer is going to replace it and i was told that they now have a updated one that will last. Time will tell.

It maybe the lower bearing in the steering column. Thats what mine was doing and dealer replaced it and it stoped but came back about a month later though. Try putting a hose clamp on the lower bearing. Do a search for it thats where i got the idea and it worked.

Just did the silicon fix on the shaft and still had the rattle. Found the hoseclamp fix and I have finally fixed the rattle. I LOVE THIS SITE!!!!!!
