Steering column noise?

Hey guys,
Ive had my balt for about 6 months and im very happy with it, but ive been hearing a noise from my steering column, its like a clunking noise when i turn the wheel it makes it sound like my front wheels are loose when they arent. it makes me feel like im on a boat with the water hitting against it(noise)

any ideas? thankyou

If its not an axle its your steering shaft. Spray some lithium grease inside the yoke of the intermediate shaft...its a very common problem on the cavalier and malibu
