Bought our 2005 Avalanche in June 05. Not long after it started making a popping noise in the front end every time I turned the corner, into and out of the driveway etc. Have taken it in numerous times. They have replaced the steering shaft. They also did something with the upper and lower actuator. They have also changed the spring rubbers and regreased the front end. The noise goes away for awhile and then returns. It is now louder then ever. Even people in other vehicles can hear the popping noise. My wife drives this vehicle on a daily basis and I am afraid that something is going to come loose and cause her to have an accident with our son in the truck.

I have a 2003 chevy Avalanche it has a clunking noise in the front . The dealer has replaced the intermediate steering shaft at approx. 25000 miles . Now at 56000 miles it is clunking again. The dealer says that chevy doesn't sell the part any more and that they only can get it under certain conditions and just making noise isn't one of them they also claim there is no danger but I can't believe if there is something loose in the steering that it won't be dangerous. When you can't even get it repaired. I've work as a mechanic for several years and did n. Y. State inspections and had to fail cars with bad steering parts but maybe the safety of the public isn't important anymore just the profit of the companies . Thank you for your time.

: the contact stated while turning left the steering wheel makes a popping noise. This occurred on normal roads during normal steering without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealership for inspection. Upon inspection, the dealership replaced the front suspension, but the problem still exists. The manufacturer has not been notified.
Vehicle made knocking noise in the front drivers side. Took it into the dealer for inspection and repair under warranty. Was told by the service manager that there was a recall for this problem and that they had to grease the steering intermediate shaft. Problem appeared to be gone, but re-appeared months later. Have lived with this knocking noise now for (4) years. Called dealer and asked if they could fix this problem again for me (vehicle now not under warranty). Was told they never performed this repair for me on my vehicle, but if I wanted the intermediate shaft greased they would charge me $135. 00 dollars. Had entire front end of vehicle greased by local auto store with problem not being solved. Noise is very disturbing and causes concern for future issues.
The contact owns a 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500. The contact stated that the steering chamber was malfunctioning. After taking the vehicle to the dealer eight times, the steering shaft was changed. The failure recurred and the contact stated that the steering chamber was shaking while driving 45 mph. He also experienced tire vibration with the front and rear tires, in addition to huge vibrations from the exhaust, which flow throughout the entire vehicle. The current mileage is 35,000 and failure mileage was 250.
Continued problem with pop/noise in front end of 04 Avalanche while turning and turning while in reverse. Chevrolet has issues several TSB's for this problem, but the problem persist. At the moment it has not cause any accidents but myself and other Avalanche owner are fearful that it will develop into a safety concern if not permanently corrected.
2003 Avalanche with z71 suspension option. After less than one year old vehicle started making severe clunking noise from driver's side front wheel when making a turn. Taken to dealer under warranty. Dealer replaced a part and stated that some clunking was "normal". Noise ceased after repair. Clunking returned in about another year and is once again severe. Sounds like the front wheel is going to fall off. Concerned about the safety of vehicle.
