What causes a Silverado front end to clunk?
Turns out that the bushing at the end of the cross-member where the rear of the torsion bar mounts is loose (see photos). The torsion bar is firm in the cross-member, but there is alot of movement and knocking in the connection where the cross-member attaches to the frame. The cross-member moves up and down when I lift the vehicle from belos.
Why does my GM Truck make a loud clunking noise?
Loud clunking/popping noise from front end. Recently my truck has been making a very loud noise coming from the front end.

Thought it might be the dust cover so I took it off and the noise persisted.

Why does my Chevy Silverado make a knocking noise?
It seems to only have been heard/felt when going over an elevation change or when the suspension was unloading. Ive also heard it when pulling slowly into the driveway.

Why does my GMC Sierra make a noise when I Shift?
That’s a comon problem for that body style. If there good, sounds like it could be that motor itself. To figure out if it’s you motor or transfercase, jack up the rear end, have a friend inside shift into 4 wheel drive, or try to, and put it in gear and apply some gas. If the front driveshaft is turning then it’s something with the front end.

What causes a GMC crossmember to clunk under the oil pan?
When the bolts aren’t torqued down properly (even if you can’t wiggle the crossmember by hand), the frame flexes and causes that crossmember to clunk. Make sure the bolts on the engine crossmember (under the oil pan) are tight, I’m a service advisor at a GMC dealership and get these once in a while.

How to rebuild the front suspension on your 1997-1999 OBS?
Remove the 18MM nut from the tie rod end and separate it using the separator and a sledge hammer. If replacing the innner/outer tie rod end assembly separate the inner tie rod end using a pitman arm separator (27022). You may need to kiss the inside of the puller with a Dremel or die grinder so it can fit on the relay rod.

My truck is a NNBS 2008 crew cab and it was doing the clunk. I’ve also heard that marine grease works a little better because it’s thicker. dalejrfan88 wrote: The fix for my 03 was dipping a racquetball in Vaseline and putting it in drive shaft to soak up the extra lash/play. Then it was silent.

When do I hear a clunk from my rear axle?
Clunk from rear axle/side to side movement. Hello. Recently in the past week or so I’ve noticed a clunk coming from my rear end when I’m cornering or going over bumps in the road or uneven pavement. If i shake the truck box I can replicate the sound, and it sounds as if the rear axle is moving side to side.
