Following, i am having a simular issue with the front of my 15 yukon, sound seems to be from the front drivers side. I have completely rebuilt the driver side suspension.

I replaced so much I'm not really sure what it was. I practically did the whole front suspension+ some of the drivetrain.

Not sure if it was connected, but my transmission did end up going and had to be replaced.

Wow! Was hoping it was an easier fix than that. Would seem crazy for it to be linked to the transmission. Part of me feels like mine is rotational noise, other times it feel like it's suspension noise.

Yeah, hopefully not. I went through New springs, control arms, links, u-joints, took the whole steering rack and diff out, wheel bearing. Just everything.

Noise went away for a little, but then it came back and my transmission started slipping. Checked the fluid and saw metal. Got it diagnosed and for sure that it went bad.

I hope that's not your case. Not a fun time.

Doesn't sound like it at all! Still shocked about the transmission, possibly being part of it. Sounds so front end.....I think im going to let mine marinate for a little while and see what happens. Mine has 144k on it m, transmission would not really shock me with how good these 8L90 (8 speed) transmissions seem to hold up.
