i cannot agree anymore with rage... and i have the 06ss/sc... as it gets colder it gets more raddle... until driving for about 10-15 minutes... its like the shocks and what not have to get a warm up also. because eventually it goes away. but from a cold start just yea... and i only have 29k on the dash and i BABY the hell out of my balt and def the suspension in general

i'm not even talking about the motor... everyone knows motor's need warm up time regardless... however the suspension needs warm up... sounds VERY STUPID just even saying it i'm like wtf am i talking about... however it's weird but true. after 10-15 minutes of driving the rattling noise goes away... and coming home also driving on the SAME terrain as when i left. after the car is already been driving etc... it doesnt make any rattling noise... just on cold starts

HEY!!!
I had the exact same problem on my '06.. took it the local dealership and they found out that a bolt fell out of the control arm on the right side. At first the knocking sound wasn't too bad, but that was before the bolt actually fell out, it was just a little loose. When it fell out I was scared to go over 40 mph..

some one just said it the swaybar drop links. Spend bucks and get the powergridinc ones excellent all weather quality last forever, or put oem new back on but they dont last forever

i think it relates to the clunk when turning going slow on a bump thing... check the control arm bushings, sway bar links.... i think chevy keeps saying its the intermediate shaft..its not....

I have had the same problem... (locating the noise). One moment it seems to be coming from left side. next bump it seems to be coming from the right..... Will a decent old school mechanic be able to hunt this down? ,or am I subject by a dealer taking 6 trips to figure it out?..Also I do not believe(firmly) that the noise is from the steering coumn. It is down low in the front suspension.. any help?
