Hello,
I have a 2002 AV, 231,000 miles. For the past 18 mos. I have heard a grinding noise when driving. I am no mechanic but it sounds like a bearing grinding. It also clunks when going from second to first gear. I don't know if those two are related.
I have been to numerous mechanics and one Chevy dealership, I either get I don't know, a guess, or like the Chevy dealership told me you will know what it is when it finally breaks.( that mechanic no longer works there)
This is what I have done to try to remedy the noise.
Put on new tires, Replace outer and inner tie rods, idler arm, idler arm bracket, intermediate steering shaft, driver side bearing hub, front alignment, rear brakes, rear brake discs, parking brakes, rear differential fluid and transfer case fluid.
The noise gets louder as you step on the gas and quieter when you take your foot off the gas pedal.
I can't find anyone that will hoist it up a few inches and let it run tires turning so we can figure it out.
Any help information or opinion is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
