Knocking Sound while Steering

Girlfriend's mother has a 2003 or 2004 (I think it's an '04) Suburban that does this as well. However I would describe it more as a clicking, like some kind of speed-sensitive relay to control how much to actually move the wheels. Help prevent roll-overs etc. from over-steer at high speed. The 'family' over here would like to know as well.

There is a TSB out on this issue. Something about greasing the steering shaft bearing/bushing.
