Denali front end noise

[jericho121]

I am having a left front end noise. I will describe it as a light clicking as you your slowly roll (forward and backward) more as the suspension move lightly, then as you move a little faster you can hear a "squeeking" sound from the same side. Dealer already had change the outboard axle under warranty and the noise is still there. Just hoping somebody had the same problem and had it fixed. Car is still under warranty and my dealer is really good to work with it's just we cant really pin point the cause of the noise.

Could be front hub assembly. My right side just went out.

The hub bearing was my initial suspect with the light clicking sound but what puzzle me is the squeeking sound I get on slow bumps. Was your symptoms the same? What year and mileage do you have? Thanks

My Denali is a 07 with 125k. Have the dealer check the CV axle, by your description sounds like that may be the problem.

The cv axle was already replaced.

Could be two separate issues. Squeaking could be control arm bushings/strut bushings/sway bar. Clicking, if it didnt change from before to after the new cv axle, is probably the hub assembly.

My control arms squeaked over small bumps, spray the bushings with some silicone lube. Solved my squeak.

Thanks for the inputs. I'm thinking the same two issues. Did the squeeking went away permanently after you lubed it up or you have to re-lube again?

Its been a few months and hasn't come back. It took a few times of spraying them before it completely went away as well. I had just replaced my control arms and when i went to spray the bushings, I noticed an accumulation of (rubber?) built up on the bushings themselves. If yours are cracked or shot it may only be a bandaid but its worth a shot.

What brand of silicone spray did you use
