Hi,
Our 1999 Malibu had the exact same thing happen to it! We realized there was a problem when the rack and pinion steering started to make noise since its attached to the engine cradle. I was fortunate to find one in decent shape in a local junk yard that also had a nicer rack and pinion for $250 then gave a guy down he block 150 to install everything. The dealer wanted over 700 for the part alone.A local shop wanted over $1000 to do the complete job. Its ridiculous that this part completely rusts out after only 10-11 yrs, esp since its a safety issue when thinking the steering could fail
