Replying to: sedaman (Oct 21, 2008 7:02 am) I'm from Quebec Canada, and have a mix of steering/vibration/wheel problems with 2005 sierra 4x4. have been hearing clunky sound from left front wheel and rough ride since 20,000miles Dealer couldn't or wouldn't identify the problem. Then had the lube job done, then some sort of column repair and still not up to par. Then went to an independent shop where they found that the bushing for the left side torsion bar was totally finished. Last night started to get a serious grinding noise from the same area, perhaps a bearing or CV joint, but I suspect it is all related. Some serious flaws going on here. Has anyone else checked /and or had torsion bar problems? Also, limited slip doesn't always work Frustrated and pissed off |

| I believe you will find the problem to be worn-out wheel bearings. I have an '06 Z71, only has 24,677 miles on it and it started that very scenario today. I stopped at a service station, they put it on the hoist, and my right front wheel bearings are shot! Jack your vehicle up to remove the weight from the front wheel in question. Grap it at the 9 and 3 positions and rock back and forth; then the 12 and 6 positions. If the wheel rocks back and forth as you do this and is not solid, then your bearings are shot. I have heard this is a problem with GMC and Chevys, now I am seeing it for real. My truck is parked at a GMC Dealership 60 miles from my house as I type, waiting for them to work on it. It is still on warranty. This should not happen at 24 or 60,000 miles! If the problem gets bad enough, your wheel can fly off! | |

| I recently bought an 08 GMC Sierra. I have noticed that it has a vibration and roaring noise coming from the rear of the vehicle when I put it into gear before moving and also when I am accelerating or decelerating at varying speeds. I have read several other posts regarding similar issues, but am unsure as to what to try to explain to the dealer's repair shop when I take it in for this problem. Could someone please give me some real insight into this problem? | |

I seem to have a shimmy/vibration when reaching 50miles per hour. Just had the u-joint at the driveshaft replaced. Any suggestions on what this might be? Thanks in advance. |
