Rack and Pinion Problem?

Hi All,

Not car savvy at all...

Just purchased 01 Olds Intrigue GX from dealer. Currently has 68,500 miles. (90 day, 3,000 mi limited warranty)

When I start the car, put it into gear, and then drive, I get a low grinding noise that sounds like it's coming from the steering column, however.....

It only does this ONCE upon going, and I can't replicate the noise until the next time I go to start the car, put in gear, and drive. I can't figure out the corrolation of the steering and gear connection.

Called my mechanic and he's going to look at it sometime this week. He thought possibly something with the rack and pinion set up. Thought I'd get any suggestions
