Wtf! Upper A-arms....does This Look Right?

[J-man67]

I have been hearing a clunk when turning left and hitting bumps while doing so. I can also make it clunk when driving straight and quickly turning the wheel back and forth at slow speeds. I haven't had time to get to the dealer so I looked around and saw this... I don't THINK its normal, but who knows. Def doesnt look normal. The brackets (not sure of the name) where the upper A-arm connects to the truck look alllll bent up. It looks the same on both sides though. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks!

It definitely looks odd. What happened to the fender?

[jrrod2004]

that looks 'normal' as mine look the same, but I am no true mechanic...I would say take it in for dealership warranty work

Yeah, they look bent and the bushing don't even touch all the way around b/c of the bends. The front fender...haha. Well there was this HOT chick getting out of her car and walking up to a store as I was backing out. I had a BIG, BRIGHT, YELLOW telephone pole next to me and I scraped it. That gets fixed in a week or two, but def not the cause of the clunk. I have had it since new and only 3800 miles on her so far. Can somone take a look at thier's to compare?

Rookie!!! Don't you know you're supposed to stop moving to check out hot chicks? Once they are in the store and there are no more to be seen, then it's clear to go.

[jrrod2004]

let us know what it was....

[wlvrn1215]

yeah im curious...mine does it but I thought it was my crappy lift. maybe its the intermediate steering shaft problem comming up again.

[J-man67]

I will let you all know what it is. Z71, might not be the RC lift (I think thats what you have) I will let you know.

[wlvrn1215]

Thanks Justin Let me know

[Zembonez]

Mine also looks the same. Same bend, same fit. Never noticed it before and I've never had any clunks (yet). You might be uncovering the GMT900 series' front end noise!
