Do bad struts make popping noise?
Noise while driving: A knocking or thumping noise — especially over bumps — can indicate worn struts. Bad front strut bearings may also cause a popping noise or a binding feeling when the steering wheel is turned.
What makes a Chevy Traverse steering clunk and pop?
The truck has rack & pinion and double wishbone w/coils front suspension. We had a clunk and what felt like movement in the front suspension when applying the brakes to full stop at very slow speeds, and we had the clunk when steering at very slow speeds.
What makes a Chevy Traverse come to a stop?
The wheel wobbles a couple of times, tucks under and rips the lower ball joint out of its socket and gets jammed between the lower control arm and the inner fender. The truck comes to a stop with the wheel still connected only by the brake soft line (which still isn’t broken) and the very very bent up tie rod end assy.
What does steering clunk and pop sound mean?
My daughter’s truck just had a front suspension collapse that started with a clunk noise. Luckily she had just turned off the road and was doing about 15 mph in a service road when the wheel went down, so she is only ticked off that she has to drive Mom’s Volvo V70 for a few days, and not dead.
Why does my GM Truck make a clunk sound?
It sounds like when one of the intermediate shafts on the gm trucks needs lubed. The best I could recommend is to lay under the front (or even better get it on a hoist) and have your wife or kids get inside and turn the wheel reproducing the clunk.
