    Hi guys/gals, my name is Logan out of La Crosse, Wi and I currently own a 1997 Grand Prix Se. Unfortunetely it's only and Se but i'd like to do some mods when i eventually get the money. It has "20 Mosaic Classic Chrome rims, aftermarket taillights, beat up front body kit, k & n cold air intake and a few other small things done to it. So I have a loan out for it right now and I have one problem... I cant drive it anywhere because the power steering pump went out. Not only that, I was a dumbass and had no other choice but to drive it to work for about a month. Then one day without power steering might I ad, I turned a corner and I heard something snap so I made it home and It now sits in my driveway. When you turn the steering wheel the wheels turn to a certain point and then you hear that noise again, with that said the steering wheel then turns but the wheels do not. I have no idea what the real concern is because I dont have the money to get it looked at. Im sure i'm looking at very bad news but any input would be much appreciated. The link to my facebook page with pics of the car is Logan Betts | Facebook or you can feel free to shoot me an email with any imput. Thanks everyone!!

    Ouch, that sucks. Welcome to the board.

    Any chance you can post the pics up here of underneath the car? Sounds like you really borked the steering.

    You can try to find some used parts, it will save you some money and get you on the road for now. But unless you can do the work yourself, that really won't save much.
