My chev. impala has some slack in steering linkage somewhere , you can feel it in steering wheel when turning or going over patches in street-it feels like the steering linkage has some slack in tie-rods or steering column etc.
My neighbor who is a mechanic at the local chev. dealer told me after i had bought my new car that after a few miles the slack would start happening in the steering unit--So apparently THE CHEV. FACTORY knows about this problem and is doing nothing about it, since i haven't heard about any recalls on this problem....

the problem is the steering knuckle as per my dealer mechanic & it is very common on the Impalas & other GM vehicles using this same assembly. My mechanic told me it is definitely a factory defect & GM should be fixing them, which as far as I know they have not yet done this.
