this might help:
Here is the Technical Service Bulletin that maybe of help, worth looking into but can't guarantee that it would fix your problem Steering - Steering Column Clunking When Turning TECHNICAL Bulletin No.: 01-02-32-001P Date: November 25, 2009 Subject: Clunk Felt/Noise Heard From Steering Column, Steering Gear and/or Front Of Vehicle During Turning Maneuver and/or Steering Wheel Rotation (Replace Intermediate Shaft As Directed) Models: 2001-2004 Buick Regal 2005-2008 Buick Allure (Canada Only), LaCrosse 2000-2008 Chevrolet Impala 2000-2007 Chevrolet Monte Carlo 1998-2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue 2004-2007 Pontiac Grand Prix Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2008 Buick LaCrosse/Allure. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 01-02-32-001O (Section 02 - Steering). Condition Some customers may comment on a clunk type noise coming from the front of the vehicle while driving during a turning maneuver.

1. Locate a large area (parking lot) where the vehicle can be turned in a tight circle. 2. Turn the steering wheel to the right and/or left all the way to the steering lock, then off the steering lock a 1/4 turn. 3. Drive the vehicle approximately 5 km/h (3 mph) in a circle, preferably over rough pavement or seams on the road surface. 4. Drive the vehicle straight ahead at idle speed while applying and releasing the brake pedal. Listen/feel the steering wheel for the clunk/noise condition. 5. If a clunk is felt in the steering wheel, the MOST likely cause is the I-shaft - not the steering gear. Continue with the correction. Correction DO THIS - Replace the intermediate shaft DON'T DO THIS - DO NOT lube the intermediate shaft Replace the existing intermediate shaft

A loud clunking noise when turning the steering wheel and now the steering wheel just goes around and around

Either your steering gear failed or the connection joint between the steering wheel and steering rack input has broken. Since you have turned the wheel around in such a way, the clock spring for the air bag will also need to be replaced or you can have accidental airbag deployment or it can fail to deploy in a wreck.

Steering wheel

What kind of noise, if growling and grinding check and replace wheel bearing. If thumping clunking type noise check steering intermediate shaft, makes noise in both directions.

Clunking noise home remedy?

Could be the ball joint. They are really easy to change it thats your issue. Jack the car and remove the tire. The ball joint will usually have three bolts or nuts holding it on strut. There is one tapered shaft that goes through your wheel hub assy and is held on by a castlated nut. Pull the hub back and forth and watch the ball joint. If it has movement then you need to replace it. If this helps let me know. Also if you need more info get back with me. thanks

Front end clunk

The problem could be caused by the jounce bumper rubbing against a dry strut plate. Here is a pic of it.

Main problems

Engine noise: Growling sounds in the engine compartment when the A/C is running are caused by the high pressure line at the condenser outlet requiring a redesigned line. (2006) Engine stalling: The engine may quit running because the driver inadvertently switches off the ignition with his/her knee, especially if a large, heavy key ring for which the company offers a cover for the ignition key. (2006) Steering noise: A clunk that may also be felt in the steering wheel when turning may be due to insufficient lubrication in the steering intermediate shaft. (2006) Steering problems: Power steering fuses are frequently blown due to improper jump starting when both cable leads are connected to the terminals of the underhood junction block because both terminals are positive.
