    1997 Grand Prix V6 3.8 L GT
    121,000 miles

    Put on new inner tie rods, and had an alignment done. When I turn the steering wheel to the right or left it slips near the end of the turn. Seems like something is loose in the sterring column. Anyone have any ideas.

    Could be the intermediate steering shaft. Search for that and see if it sounds like what you are experiencing.

    Well replaced intermediate steering shaft and steering column and neither the problem. Replaced rack and pinion and there you go problem solved. Here is a link to replacing rack and pinion. Takes awhile to do.

    Pretty much what happened is turning left became very hard to do. Turning right was alright. So the rack and pinion was the problem. $199 dollars.
