Replying to: cpete1993 (Jan 18, 2009 6:30 am) It might be the cv joints Replies to this message: 04cad (Feb 19, 2009 9:02 pm)

Replying to: nomorechevys (Sep 20, 2000 7:58 pm) Just curious if you are still following this thread, what size engine did your 98 have? Our 98 has the v6 and with over 154,000 miles, still has enough pep to make it very fun to drive. Regular oil changes and normal maintenance items for the most part. It doesn't use enough oil between changes to notice and still rides and drives great. Just wondered if maybe you had the four banger and were used to a large motor? I know I notice a big difference when I drive my daughter's four cylinder vehicles after being used to my v8 Silverado.

Replying to: packer3 (Jan 27, 2009 4:52 pm) I would also guess CV joints or bearings.

Replying to: cpete1993 (Jan 18, 2009 6:30 am) Sounds like it could be the bearing in the front spindle housing , which your CV joint goes through. A CV joint makes a clicking sound at low speed when turning the wheels and gets louder the farther you turn the wheel. Have a mechanical mind person look for cracks in the boots and for any grease escaping from the CV boot. Check that the spindle to the CV drive line hasn't any play in and out or side to side.   Sorry i didn't pick up your post earlier.

We will miss the 2004 LT just like another poster who moved up to the new one. The 200hp V6 and 4 speed tranny provided a low of 23 and a high of 36 mpg's. For a first year GM and even with a couple of problems it was great and should be enjoyed by the new owner. For the lack of a three car garage and a back that couldn't drop down into the seat, it gave its value as a trade in on a new JK Rubicon.

We purchased a 2009 Malibu from Bradshaw, Greer, SC. It was a completely satisfactory experience. The dealership was very clean and neat. Sally Hartz, the sales person was delightful to work with.   All in all at 10 all the way around. Replies to this message: vanman1 (May 31, 2009 5:21 pm)

#4901 of 4908 Concerns about how GM Bankruptcy will affect you? by bwia Jun 02, 2009 (4:00 am)
For those of us who have concerns about how the GM bankruptcy will affect us in terms of warranties, recalls, rewards program, parts and resale value let me refer you to http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/02/your-money/02consumer.html?ref=business   This New York Times article is written in an easy to understand question and answer format and addresses most of the corncerns one may have. Here is an example:   Q. My OnStar contract is up for renewal in a few weeks. What is the effect of the G.M. bankruptcy on On-Star? — Ellen, Palos Park, Ill.   A. G.M. says that there will be no impact on OnStar service, and that subscriptions will remain in place. Given that this service is, arguably, one of the best products of any sort that the company has come up with in the last decade or two, there’s little chance that it’s going away or changing much.

Replying to: cpete1993 (Jan 18, 2009 6:30 am) I have the same noise that starts at 40 mph and I replaced tires also. The car has 54,000 miles and I still have the noise. Did you get yours solved? If so, please post results. Replies to this message: cpete1993 (Jul 22, 2009 1:26 pm) rbnelson (Jul 23, 2009 4:45 am) pao (Jul 24, 2009 4:12 am)

Replying to: rbnelson (Jul 22, 2009 5:18 am) Well I found out it was some bearings worn on one of the arms on the front end. They replaced the arm and the noise went away. The mechanic said that the car would have run fine with the noise, but it was too much for me, so I let them replace it. I can't remember the proper name for the part, but they changed it in about 30 min.   Hope this helps. Replies to this message: rbnelson (Jul 23, 2009 4:45 am) pao (Jul 24, 2009 4:12 am)
