The past few months I have been noticing a strange clunking noise that usually happeneds at slower speeds (5 to 20) when comming to a stop. The sound clicks and clunks probably about 20 times untill I come to a complete stop. I noticed tonight that it also does it frequently on left turns, now any ideas if this is a axle bearing, wheel bearing or what not. Im under warranty right now and am trying to get this taken care of before my warranty is done.

You might have a broken spider gear, I'd have the center cover removed and have it inspected. Bob

Also one more thing, Is there any long term effects that can be caused by having a broken spider gear with driving it for quite a while. Im under warranty so not reallly worried just give me your thoughts.

If it's under warranty, take it to the dealership and get them to look at it.

it's something in the diff unit in the rear. i swaped a 10 bolt from a local guys car and he was having problems with his. and i opened it up and i turned the right axle and i noticed what was clicking. spider gears i believe their called. well anyways the bird is on warrenty so i'm going to have gm deal with it.
