SilveradoEsEs Posted August 23, 2008 Report Posted August 23, 2008 Anyone had a popping noise coming from their front end while turning? I had this problem before and it was fixed under warranty. It's back again and now I'm out of warranty. I can't find the work order that I got from the first repair, but would like to try to fix it myself. I don't remember what they replaced to correct the problem and am hoping someone else has had this prob and can point me to the right part for the fix. Quote
Fireman31 Posted August 23, 2008 Report Posted August 23, 2008 most likely the steering shaft..... Quote
mcmahan Posted August 23, 2008 Report Posted August 23, 2008 yea mine is doing the same thing. not all the time but its doing it. i think my front shocks are crapping on me too. mt tires are cupping... if you find out what it is let me know. im not driving my truck now cause of this. im having to drive the wifes bmw.

SilveradoEsEs Posted August 25, 2008 Author Report Posted August 25, 2008 (edited) most likely the steering shaft..... Nah, I had the new style steering shaft installed under warranty. This sound is definitely coming from the front end. The pop only occurs when I'm turning. I'm gonna dig through my paperwork and see if I can turn over the work order. Seems like there were some bushings or washers in the front end that were replaced under warranty. Edited August 25, 2008 by SilveradoEsEs (see edit history) Quote
ces63ss Posted August 25, 2008 Report Posted August 25, 2008 Im AWD and I noticed it this weekend. Only those it once in a while. Quote
12'SROCK Posted August 25, 2008 Report Posted August 25, 2008 none of the above. . . . . . .you need to have both of you body insulators replaced, your body is hitting the frame when you turn, just had mine replaced under warranty Quote

Did your front end make a popping noise when you turned left or right? I mean, it makes sense that these insulators could be the problem, but the sound seems to emmanate from the front suspension. I guess its all in the same general area?! I have a friend with an Avalanche that is having the same problem. Is this something that can be done in the driveway? I'm not gonna pay the dealer a ton of money if it's something that I can do myself. Quote

SilveradoEsEs Posted August 27, 2008 Author Report Posted August 27, 2008 mine just stared a little rattle when i hit bumps what could that be Sounds like the dreaded intermediate steering shaft. Do you have a clunking/thumping sound coming through the steering wheel? Quote
mcmahan Posted August 27, 2008 Report Posted August 27, 2008 Sounds like the dreaded intermediate steering shaft. Do you have a clunking/thumping sound coming through the steering wheel? yes sir. it pissing me off like no other Quote
12'SROCK Posted August 27, 2008 Report Posted August 27, 2008 if you already had the steering shaft upgraded the only thing left is the column bearing or the body mount insulators Quote
ezclone Posted August 27, 2008 Report Posted August 27, 2008 Same thing on mine, I heard for the first time this last weekend on a trip to the coast. I was thinking it was the bushings were starting to go..... I did the steering shaft fix how three weeks ago. Quote
