Front noise from 2006 Uplander by allenford

My 2006 uplander had so many problems since I got it.
 
Seatbelt of rear replaced, stablibility and traction control light on, steering rubbing.
 
Now, when I go over small bumps under a low speed, a noise like something loose heard from front end, and the steering is a little bit sensitive. Went to dealership, two intermediate shaft replaced, and the noise still there, they said they are going to replace the steering column unit, but not sure for it.
 
Anybody here had same problem?
 
Thanks for any info.

My 2005 has been doing that for some time. Sounds like the whole exhaust system is falling off by the sound of the noise.

Thanks for the reply.
 
I dont think it is exhaust, because I can feel something through steering.

Oh, yea, i know it isnt the exhaust, just the clunk sound is like the exhaust or undercarriage if falling off.....lol
 
EDIT: in another post or forum, there was mention of the stabalizer tie rod ends that caused the problem for some, so they replaced them and it fixed the problem.

thanks a lot.
 
The dealer said they will replace the whole steering column, and I am waiting for the parts.

I have the same noise problem. I am pretty sure it is the steering. When in park I can move the steering wheel side-to-side and you can hear and feel the noise. It sounds like something loose at low speeds over bumps.

got the whole steering column replaced, and seems the noise gone.
and now, only two weeks later, it seems like slightly the noise come back!!!
going over bumps low speed, you feel something from steering......

I have an 06 as well...nothing but problems. I had six repair attempts in six months on the steering alone (not to mention all the other repairs) and GM won't recognize lemon law, so I filed suit. Get out of it, if you can!

I had the same problem with my 06 Uplander. They eventually replaced the intermediate steering shaft this fixed the clunking when turning the wheel. The clunking I also had at low speed over the smallest bumps. I asked one of the service tech not the service manager and he took a look and replaced both trailing link arms on the front end. this was at 21000 miles so far nothing else

allenford, i just finished repairing my 2006 uplander ls this morning. i had the same problem (i think) at low speeds or uneven ground or anything that would make the car rock side to side i kept hearing a clicking noise coming from the front end. By yesterday i have had enough of that crap i crawled underneath while my wife rocked the car from side to side finally i found the problem it was the linkage that connects the anti sway bar to the strut (look for a single bar that runs par ell to the strut) to take that linkage off your going to need a allen wrench and a 15mm opened wrench and a lot of pb blaster if you live in the northern states i paid $36.00 kinda hard to take off easy to put on now the car goes down the road just fine no problems
