99 Suburban Problem - any ideas?ThePierogiKid 02-16-2006, 06:53 PM Have a 99 Suburban with just under 100K miles. Getting a "clacking" noise coming from under (but not sure exactly where - I think the center)the vehicle as the wheels are rotating (I have pin-pointed this happening usually under 20 mph). It stops when the vehicle stops. I had someone look at it. I looked at it but see nothing physically 'hung up' in there. I'm no vehicle expert by any means, but think that it has something to do with the tire rotation / drive shaft? Any ideas? Appreciate the help. 2000CAYukon 02-16-2006, 07:50 PM Have a 99 Suburban with just under 100K miles.

It helps to drive right next to a building or wall to help hear the noise. If the noise is coming from the driveshaft, check the u-joints. //2000CAYukon ThePierogiKid 02-16-2006, 08:13 PM I've done just that (drive along a jersey barrier) which convinces me more that its something with the drive shaft. I had sprayed out the wheels from every imagineable angle in hopes to dislodge something...no luck. Someone else (a mechanic) looked at the U-joints and thought they looked fine. It has him scratching his head too. vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
