I just noticed something like this. Except over big speed bumps like in parking lots I hear a creaking sound like a old floor. Nasty

i had a clunk noise on my V a few months back- did some swap bar end links and it fixed it up. your going to need to check the suspension to see if you have anything loose- you can chase clunk noises for a while by throwing parts at it

First check sway bar bushings... then links.. if u still have noise then its prolly the shock mounts.

Same noise, It was the bushings. They seemed fine when I checked them. But new ones got rid of the thud sound.

Mine makes a popping sound I can also feel I'm the wheel when I turn left especially if I am coming out of my apartment driveway going from an incline surface to a level one. Figured it was sway bar bushings. May do Z06 links & see if that fixes it.

Either links, shock mounts, or subframe slipping, seen that, GM used to offer mylar washers to place between the body and subframe, idk if they still do though
