The front end of my '07 Tahoe makes noise like a pigeon is nesting under the hood while the truck is underway. I primarily drive through the suburbs in the northeast so potholes and the likes are frequent. While driving, even over light bumps I hear this noise that sounds like a pigeon when the suspension articulates. I have the stock autoride and my truck has 70k on it. Its new to me so I don't know when the last time any suspension services were done.
I've also yet to crawl under the truck to look at anything but I was wondering if anyone had any insight to prepare me for what I'm going to find.
Does anyone have any ideas what it could be? I am assuming there is a bushing or ten that are shot or a greaseable joint is dry....
Thanks in advance!

Bad bushings or a blown shock is my guess.

Kinda figured it might be one of the shocks. It's going into the stealership next wednesday, I will have it checked out.

Anyone suppose that could be covered under warranty?

Not unless you (or the previous buyer) got the extended warranty...

Definitely no pigeons under there!!!
I am CPO until 3/11 so when it goes in for the bumper replacement on Wednesday I will talk to the service adviser. They are replacing the driver's rear captain's seat too so I will just rack up all sorts of warranty billing for them.
