I have had my 2007 silverado since 6-12-07, i love this truck and get loads of compliments on it. It just turned 57,000 mi., and 3 mo's ago I started to hear a clunking under the bed of the truck when i turn the wheel to turn into to my drivway and also when i back out. i thought my truck was falling apart the noise was and is still very disturbing. The first time i took it to the chevy dealership was in 2009 they said it was the leaf spring assembely, i don't know what they did to it but it was fine till 3 mo's ago i have had it back to the dealership and the can't seem to find the problem,all i was told that if it happens only once every 3yrs not to worry but it sounds awful and when anyone rides in my truck they ask me what's wrong with your truck. I have owned f-150, nissan and never had this problem with any of those. so what's wrong and why can't anyone fix this problem? as much as i love this truck iam considering getting rid of it and going back to
