Foxy223344 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Hello! So the car is making super loud sound kinds in the middle/driver side, like metal cracking or something breaking, also it would make the car do some missing but not engine related (its like it breaks a little bit and the rpm moves). weve tried everything troubleshooting, from looking at the car from below, to disconnecting the ABS, to looking at the scanner, to working on the differential and trying to drive it 2 wheels at a time.. were suspecting a transmission issue but it’s expensive to replace and try. Anyone had a similar problem? How did u fix it? thanks! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurshot Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 So, I had this happening on a 2008 GMT900. I had to go back and look, but it was the control arm bolts that were not fully torqued. Not loose, but not fully torqued. Other members have had the same experience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was the upper control arm bushings worn out. I ordered new upper control arms from MOOG. Imagine my surprise when I found the upper control arm loose. I went ahead and changed the upper control arms anyway. Look at the upper control arm bolts and make sure everything is tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
