i checked it out, but didn't see any solution....
have you figured it out yet?
a guy i work with took it for a ride, and his first guess was the wheel bearing/hub. we couldn't get it up to 50-55 mph, because it was rush hour, he did hear the noise though.
we then brought it into the shop, and put it on the lift. we found the r/f tire to be badly cupped, and that the idler arm, pitman arm, and all 4 ball joints need replacing. we also corrected all the tire pressures, and rotated the tires.
i haven't had a chance to get it up to highway speed yet, to see if it made any difference. tomorrow, i will try and see if it does it in 4wd.
btw, we work in a car dealership, i work in parts, and the other guy is an ASE certified tech.

i had the opposite side replaced a while back, when the car was under warranty, it was making a different noise though. it's 2000 miles out of warranty now.
thanks, and i'll let you know if we figure it out too.

think maybe they stick? or get partially engaged? i can hear it when i switch into 4wd....
i talked to a chevy dealer today, and they couldn't think of any common problem that would cause this.
