rear end noise?

[jwmarler48]

My 1LE has been making a clunking sound when shifting gears lately so I decided to take car to dealership. They told me that the ball joints that hold the rear end in place our worn and GM has a service bulletin to replace them. Has anyone had this issue or work done?

This is something new, I havent heard anything bout this issue yet. Please let us know more about this TSB on the ball joints.

There isn't ball joints the rear assy in the typical sense, there all bushed flex joints like the front control arms where they attach to the sub- frame.

I am at 20k right now....been a "busy" 1st year! Also this one is a tough one to figure out, I thought I had a caliper hanging up and convinced myself that was it + the carbotech race pads.....NOPE!
