Developed a noise in the front end of the car, near the wheel (driver's side). Didn't hit anything and I drive the car fairly gingerly (only 6000 miles at 14 months of ownership). Just wondering if anyone else has had any shock/strut problems in the front end, that weren't caused by hitting an obvious pothole or curb.

Thx

 

When you hit a bump, or a constant noise?

 

Welcome to my world!! i have only owned mine for 2 months and I have been chasing this ghost. It seems you have the same sound I do. Let me save you a bunch of time and money....

Next for me is the transmission mounts!! Let you know if it solves the problem.

 

thx..will let u know

 

My 07 LT2 made the same noise and the dealer had it a month and one half all together and they never did find the noise. They replaced everything in the front end and nothing worked so with the dealers help, GM bought it back and I was able to get my 08 SS and with 15000 miles on it it is quiet as a mouse in the front end.

 

I lost a strut @ 4,000 miles. The seals gave way and blew the oil all over the suspension and garage floor. I was told they have a supplier issue with the struts... as soon as aftermarket ones are availible, mine will hit the dumpster!

 

I am surprised that they are going to replace that strut for you; My strut blew on my Blue HHR LS, they told me that this was wear and tear. NOT warranty qualified. So, I changed cars, not strut. LOL

 

BTW.... Transmission mount replacement didnt solve my problem. Another $150 down the drain. Struts are my next point of focus. Crap.

 

I've got the same noise. Been thinking all the same ?'s as everyone here. 20K miles and it just started. Hope someone figures it out, it's driving me nuts!

 

Has anyone checked the k member bolts? Could be some play there allowing contact
