2005 chevy malibu v6 rack pinion?

[charityr2308]

hello car people i have a question, its a chevy malibu and when turning slighty or racking the steering wheel back and forth it puts out a little clicking/ tapping noise and you can feel it a little bit too, is this the rack pinion, i got under the car and had someone turn the wheel and it sounds like its coming from it and feels like it too when i touch it while its making noise. i did the autozone trouble shoot and it says the cv half shaft but i think its the rack and pinion. has this happend to one of you? thanks. please only serious people answer i dont want smart remarks or take it to a shop thanks
i do my own repairs its cheaper!

thanks smart guy....... your not to funny.

it may be the steering column. I have an 04 and it has had to be replaced 3 times in under 100,000. I think it has something to due with the fact it has electronic power stering instead of a pump. Just another part you may consider. good luck
