Re: Sterring issue 2006 malibu,
Thanks for the update. It's always good to see the resolution and results. Sorry you dropped the cash on the sensor, but fifty bucks for the whole column sounds like a pretty good bargain to make up for it. For under $200 you got him back on the road, and I'd hate to think what a shop would have charged, probably including the new snesor as well.
