At 46,500 miles, my steering started making a clicking noise. The Chevrolet dealer diagnosed it as a bad rack and pinion and steering shaft. The boots are intact. They gave me an estimate of over $1,200 for repairs.

problem #1

Malibu 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
At approximately 35,000 miles and replacement of front tires twice, took vehicle to dealership and found that the steering rack and leftside outer tierod end needed to be replaced. Dealership replaced the items. At 60,000 miles and after replacement of right side tire 2 times, vehicle was taken for a front end alignment and was told that the right side tierod end needed to be replaced because it wouldn't maintain alignment. Contacted dealer and was told that it was out of warranty, but they would look at it and give an estimate to repair it.
