2001 GMC Denali makes clunking sound when turning after a long drive.
What is your question?
My 2001 GMC Denali makes a horrible and loud clunk sound when making turns after driving it for a longer period of time or any freeway driving. It's so loud, it sounds like the front wheel area could snap. If I wait a few hours and drive the car, it's fine, but happens every single time I drive my SUV after any long or freeway driving (which is every day since I have a long commute). We've spent thousands of dollars trying to fix the issue, but no one has been successful. I love my Denali, but am very frustrated.and really want to get it fixed. Any help on what's causing it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Jackie
What makes this problem better or worse?
Worse after freeway driving
How long has your 2001 GMC Yukon had this problem?
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 2001 GMC Yukon. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
Of course *hands-on* evaluation by qualified personnel will be required however if this hasn't been done already - I will suggest having the differential fluid replaced using the proper 'limited slip' lubricant.
Thanks for your response. My husband has done that twice. It helped a little but the first time, but not at all the second time. â˜¹ï¸ No one, including repair shops, seems to be able to figure out what’s going on.
It might stump me as well - however I wish I could take the vehicle for a test drive so I could experience the problem first hand..
I’ve been doing auto repair for a *very long* time..
Difficult to evaluate here online.
Limited slip clutch chatter can certainly cause the symptoms you posted!
