Noisy front end! I realize this has probably been covered but...............My 06 Impala SS has about 22k on it and now it seems that if you turn the wheel while going slow or sitting still I get a clunking,Vibration from the front end.Lot's of problems with this car!Thinking about trading it in before the factory warranty runs out.Anybody know of a TSB that fixes this or have you had the same problem and what should I expect from the dealer?I really like the car as it does double duty,Kinda sporty with enough room to travel and I really hate to unload it but it has had a lot of electrical problems and now this steering coupler/rack or strut problem.Damn it!BTW the car is all stock except for a change to Michelins at 500 miles.HELP!

I had the same problem fixed last week. They only replaced the tie rod end and it seems to be fine so far. I didn't know the impss had the ISS problems. I had 3 of those damn things put in my Z71 is less than 2 yrs. You'd think they could fix that by now.
