    I have a 2005 GTP. When I go over bumps and sometimes while turning I can feel and hear rattling in my steering. It sounds and feels like something is loose. It has been getting much worse over the past few weeks. I took it in to a service garage and was told my suspension was all tight and nothing was wrong. The only thing they noted was a slight creaking when I turn the wheel which they claim is an unfixable GM defect. Any input?

    Go to a different garage if you hear/feel it and they don't, then you need someone that pays more attention. Also..there is no creaking GM defect.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    might be the intermediate steering shaft, which does have a GM defect. I posted a similar complaint here several months ago and someone pointed me in the right direction. There is an old thread on this topic if you can find it.

    See my post from March 12, 2009. It might describe your situation.

    Actually, the mount has been know to break on the alum cradle cars, so It would be a good idea to check them
