2022 Chevrolet Silverado Custom. Clunking Noise From Rear Slow Speed While Driving On Uneven Ground.

[Bigthunder55]

I have a new 2022 Silverado 1500 Custom with 300 miles on it. I have noticed at slower speeds and while driving on uneven ground and turning, a clunking noise from the rear of the truck like a loose spare tire. I have checked the tire and it fine. The truck is fine driving forward and reverse on level ground. Has anyone came across this problem and if so how did you resolve the problem? Thanks Noise Driving me Crazy.

Mine, 2022 LTD LT, does the same thing and this issue seems to be well known caused by leaf spring noise. Service Bulletin No: 19-NA-129. I complained of this to my dealer but they said "unable to duplicate", although I always hear the noise when rocking my truck side to side. Please refer to the links for the details. Pretty disappointing 47K truck has noise on every bump.

Every GM truck I have had since 2014 develops the leaf spring "creaking" at slow speeds, uneven ground. I think 3-4 trucks total. Thankfully the new 2022 Refresh I got doesn't do it.. yet... it only has 1K miles.

so the tech bulletin on my 2022 3500hd calls for a retorque,  generally hear it in the driveway at low speed,  had it to the dealer,  pic of when i got it out,  claimed they had to clean and use wheel bearing grease per tech support.

the specs are small stones and dirt now stuck to the springs, and noise has not changed at all.

 

the white speckles are stones

My 21 custom made the same noise. Ended up being a loose bed bolt that was backed out.

New spring packs on order....

 

only time i have ever heard a noise like this on any truck was when a leaf broke and would rattle

2023 silverado 2500hd  is doing the same thing? Low speeds clunking. Less than 300 miles.

Going to dealership  in 3 days to have service dept look at

Come back and let us know what happened.

I've had this same problem with my 2022 LT for 6 months  now. Took it to dealer, they greased the leaf spring sliders and the noise has been eliminated. It was extremely aggravating. I feel like this is a band-aid fix but we shall see as time goes by.

wrong solution,  should have been retorque and install grey sliders as first step,  greasing springs is not a good practice!
