I've done some research on this one my father happens to be a Master Mechanic and a dispute resolver for AAA. We both have test drove the car and the only thing that we could come up with was possibly internal U-Joint failure. However, the usual signs of a a split boot or obvious wear was no where to be found I did even take picture of the area to be examined later. Still nothing to be found. I read some of the other blogs about an internal shaft that needs to be re-lubricated. I'm hoping it's this and a quick an inexpensive fix to boot. I did receive similar results when duplicating the troubleshoot process of finding an empty parking lot and turning the wheel to the locked position and then back a 1/4 turn.

Steering developed clicking on turning, there is a TSB on this and GM makes a lubrication kit for the sector shaft, there is some grease and a shield to install that supposedly helps retain the lubricant (which eventually leaks out over time anyway and the process has to be repeated.)
