Re: Clunking noise

Re: Clunking noise
It sounds like when a knuckle is out on 4 wheel drive when you turn it's a lot of clunking growling noise

Re: Clunking noise
Don't know for sure, but my 07 Grand Prix got the ISS clunk. We should all be used to this by now. It takes GM about 15 years before they fix an issue.

Re: Clunking noise
Bad wheel bearings don't usually make a clunking noise, the make a roaring/growling noise as speed builds up....but I suppose anything is possible...
