I love my Malibu. Bought it with only 19K miles on it in 2007. The clunking noise when I turn the wheel is annoying. I do not see that it causes any problems in steering. I may try the suggestion of a good lube job underneath to see if that would help. It definitely sounds like it just need grease, like a squeaky door. I do not have a warranty, but wonder if anything was ever recalled with this issue since I am the 2nd owner.
