I purchased a 2018 Silverado in September of 17. I have approx 7200 miles on it today and noticed the “clunking” sound coming from the rear. I became concerned that it may be drive line related. After reading the posts on this thread I checked the leafs first. As a quick fix I sprayed some oil on the springs and let it sit over night. The next day heading to work as I pulled out the driveway “CLUNK!!” this time only worse. It was to the point that when driving down the road if I jerked the wheel back and forth at 35mph it sounded like the lug nuts weren’t tightened on the rear wheels. So I decided I’d come home and slip some thin pieces of rubber on top of the existing pads on the leaf springs. (Just as confirmation it was the springs). So I did as the others said. Jacked the truck up and used a crow bar to space them out a bit. Used some degreaser and a rag and cleaned the factory pads. Placed the thin rubber pieces on top of the existing pads and let the jack down. Backed out of the driveway and “SILENCE!” No more clunking. I will now be looking into a more permanent solution now that I know what the problem is. I hope this helps. Matt
