Good day to all,
I have an 07 Aspen 200K and after changing Brakes, tire rod ends, shocks and sway bar bushings the car makes a loud thump noise when pulling out of drive way in reverse and turning. It is louder when reversing left and driving back straight.
I also changed the CVs both! I am puzzled.
I need an alignment but want to clear the noise before that so i don't have to do it twice.
Passenger side tire looks tilted inwards at top but it could be my eyesight and I can't figure out how to adjust the camber on this truck.
Love this truck! Warts and all!!

Any hints, ideas, solutions are welcomed and well received.

Thanks!

 

Was the noise there before you did all that work? If not, you need to go back and double check all your work as something obviously is not correct.

Without hearing the noise or being able to see the vehicle, this will be difficult to troubleshoot on a forum. It does look like you have covered many components which could be the source of a noise in the front end. Only other thing I can think of would be ball joints.

If you have a camera which can be mounted underneath (like a GoPro), try taking some video while backing out to not only visually see what may be going on but to also hear where it may be coming from. Post it up and someone may be able to identify it better.

 

Could be a lot of things. But I would guess caliper or brake bracket isn't on there quite right or tight enough. I would pull the wheel off and re check all the work.

 

Good day to all,
I have removed the wheels and checked all the nuts, all was fine.
While trying to find how to adjust the camber I noticed the upper link arm was moved and found that I had not tightened the nuts properly.
This fixed the camber and the noise I was experiencing, even the alignment seems good but I will have it done just to be sure.
To think that my wife drove from Toronto to New York and from Toronto to Milliken at the North of Michigan!! Over 6K Kms.
This SUV rocks!!

Thanks for your suggestion!!

 

Glad it's fixed!
