sounds like it could be the intermediate shaft, located just above the gas and brake pedals, going through the firewall. this connects the steering shaft to the rack, and will make a popping/clunking noise when the wheel is turned. GM cars have lots of problems with these.

amberortner15 sorry to hear of your problem. Wish you were in CR so I could help you. I would take it to a GOOD GM shop but remember they do charge for diagnoses some times.OH, I own a 2002 and 2004 La Sabre. The 2002 has a noise but feels like a loose steering wheel.
