front end clunk
Hi folks-- I'm new to the site. Got my 2013 v-6 a few weeks ago, and almost immediately found it had the clunk you guys are talking about. The dealership people are great-- so far they have changed the front struts twice, but the clunk is still there. I emailed them a copy of the Camaro5 discussion and not only do they like it but also sent it up the line to the next level. I'm pretty much ready to go with what I have, and my agency and service people could not be greater--but my car is leased which limits what I can have done myself I suppose, and it really isn't too bad-- but if there is a movement afoot to try to make Chevrolet do something I want to know and I will definitely join in.

Makes me wonder if the parts that were used on my 2012 were these same defective parts from the 13's. Interesting.

My RS is now exactly four years old. The pop is much worse in the front end, on the right. The good news is, other than what I suspect just may be a blown strut, the stability seems ok. At least the wheel hasn't fallen off. For those familiar with shocks, my car has no " rebound dampening " on this wheel. When it unloads, it hits so hard, you'll swear something is going to break off it next time. I just keep on driving the durn thing, hoping it does break off. Tehe.

Is their a TSB on the 2010's? I noticed it on mine tonight. Big time clunking noise from the passenger front. I have 11K miles on mine.

A number of threads on this issue so will post on this thread first. My 2011 2LT currently has 8700 K (5402 miles). Almost since new (Aug. 10 was my 3rd yr), when turning sharp in or out of parking spaces could hear I reported "creaking/clunk noise from front end". July 25 took it to dealer & they ordered two front strut mounts to fix "strut mounts binding close to full turns causing popping/creaking type of noise (dealer words)". Part ordered #22802090 (mount 073950). Parts arrived in a few days, was not in a hurry & dropped off Aug. 19. When installing new strut mounts smart service person realized these new mounts were not going to completely solve the issue. They then ordered a 'mount kit' #22843712 (mount kit 07950). Just picked up the Camaro today, no noise at all. They also did a 4-wheel alignment & reset front/rear toe, chamber both sides.
FYI: My noise sounds similar to others on this thread & heard since new & my 2011 2LT built early Aug. 2010 delivered to me Aug. 10, 2010 (note low present mileage). Also note I never heard a pop/clunk going over speed bumps, just when parking at low speed turning in/out of parking spaces. I asked & told there is not a TSB on 2011 models regarding this issue. Hope this info helps others. Thanks to Myers Chevrolet/Cadillac in Ottawa Ontario for great customer service. |

2012 2LT/RS - Built March 8th, 2012
Experiencing the same knocking / clicking sound from the passenger well. It is worse when it is cold. Also noticed it only does it when that single tire has weight lifted off of it - if both front tires take a bump or dip in the road no noise. Passenger tire only noise. Taking it in Wednesday to get it looked at. Also having them fix my blower motor - that went at less than 3000 miles... I saw two different suggestions in here. One from pedders and one from someone who had theirs fixed at the dealer by tightening the control arm back up to the subframe. Is there still no - 'for sure' - this is the cause / fix yet? |

I had thumping/popping noise in the struts more so in the passenger side versus the driver side.Fought with the Dealer and GM until I took those pictures in and question them the new neoprene insulator versus the one that came with the car.
GM even offered me a oil and filter change to try and shut me up,but like I told them keep their oil and filter that won't correct the problem.Anyway after confronting them with this information they finally bit the bullet and change the insulator.If you read earlier threads by me , you will see threads when I was experiencing this issue. Problem solved ,no more thumping or popping. Quote:

I had a similar problem, it was more of a clicking noise on the front end, I could hear it when I went over bumps and when I turned the wheel at a stop in either direction. I took it to the dealer and they replaced the stabilizer link and left bearing, I had to pay for the link but the bearing was covered under warranty, my car has 18k miles, I purchased it used with 15k miles. The clicking noise went away but I'm still experiencing a lot of bump steer :/ they say its normal but it can't be! It's a work out driving my car on uneven roads!
