Slack in steering wheel

[GM4ME]

I have a 2006 GMC Sierra SLT Crew cab 5.3L.

I have about 2 inches of play in my steering wheel.

If I put my hand on the upper bolt of the intermediate shaft it feels like the slack is above that point,

or in the steering column, because when I turn the steering wheel the bolt does not move.

What part needs to be replaced ?

Do you have a part number ?
