Question...

[COTahoeLS]

Loaned my Tahoe to my brother for his wedding this weekend to transport gifts, kids, etc.

In the process, I think one of the rear suspension parts went out. Coincidence in my opinion. The truck is an 07 with about 80K miles on it.

What is happening is that when going over any minor/major bumps, something in the rear will make a clunking sound almost like bottoming out.

This led me to believe I may have a shock dead but if that's the case, I thought the rear would start doing a low rider bounce because the springs would compensate? This does not happen.

Ideas? I am planning to lower the Hoe anyways but would like to get to the bottom of this issue in case it is not something I can address with the new suspension pieces.

My shock extenders are loose right now and they do exactly what you described.
Makes clunk and feels lousy, its due to the bottom mount bolt coming off somehow.

Ahh ****!! I hope I didn't lose any bolts and shit... I'll have the truck back on Monday.

LoL RT I have less than half what you have on my 07.

weird.. a family friend of mine had this same prob on his 07. It was in the shop for about a week and he ended up just buying another. I need to find out exactly what was wrong with it though.

Sounds like a shock which isn't a surprise with your mileage. I'm hoping we can drop your truck in the next week or so anyway.
