Jeremy,
You might want to check into the possibility of a defective rack and pinion on your Alero. GM has had a TSB out on the steering system for quite a while now. We had ours changed out after the power steering pump failed but luckily it was still under the bumper to bumper warranty.
Rack and pinion failures are common on Aleros and Grand Ams. Specific problems are leaking or taking out the power steering pump, etc.
Other than that the car has been trouble free so far.
