If you own a 2021+ Chevrolet Suburban, Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Yukon, or Cadillac Escalade that makes a pop, clunk, click, or rattle sound when maneuvering through tight turns, the solution is an easy fix.
According to GM TechLink, despite sometimes sounding like the noise is coming from the front of the vehicle, the noise is caused by a loose rear sway bar link. The location of the loose bolt can be seen in the image below.
If you have a noise consistent with this problem, take your vehicle to the dealer and ask them to reference #PIT6033. The proper torque for the rear sway bar link is 74 lb-ft.
