Clunk or groan when turning

[Amaster]

I'm having some trouble with a groaning sound coming from the front end when I turn in a parking lot or something like that in my 2011 gmc yukon it's usually once every couple of days I'm wondering what it could it be. It really isn't something to big on my list but it's there.

If you could record, it would be easier to decide what it is. But, sounds like could be power steering that is low on fluid. Have you checked the fluid level? It could also be somewhere on your front steering or suspension components with bushings.

Have you checked the end link bushings on the swaybar? How old are the control arm bushings? Are you in 4WD when this happens?

Update other than struts looking pretty nasty all bushings in the front end look good. Also checked my fluid reservoir it checked out.

Plus also sorry for no video it does every once in a couple of days while in 2wd plus I thought I may of gotten the sound today while making a video but can't upload it.

You have to host the video on another site (YouTube, etc.) and post just the link to it here. TYF doesn't host video.

Here are some pictures I took of the front suspension.

That video of the noise would really help, if you can. At this point, it is just guessing.

It should be the steering shaft. Check this video out by LSXMatt. I have a similar problem with my Tahoe.

The 2007 and newer shafts had problems too? I did not know that.
