noise passenger front tire area

mws517 · 02-06-2019, 10:02 AM

I have a 2018 ZL1 1LE with approximately 4600 miles. Never been tracked or abused, garage kept. I live in SW Florida. Never been in accident and never hit anything including parking stops. With that said, I still have the original tires on the car and nothing has been modded, everything is factory. I noticed something about a week ago when I pulled the car out of the garage (slight decline) onto the driveway. The air temp was about 49 degrees, and as I turned the wheel hard to left, I heard and or felt the passenger front tire area slide, it almost felt like the tire was flat. I immediately stopped and checked the tire and it was fine, got back into the car and checked the air pressure and it read 33 lbs, rest of tires were at 34lbs, and as tires warmed up all tires read 37lbs. As I drove forward I had to turn hard right and felt the same thing. This was very brief, soon as it happened it stopped. I contributed it to the tires being cold on a cold day. No other problems, car drove straight and no pulling to the right. Once I got to where I was going, I tried to replicate it, but couldn't, the car drove with no further problems and it did not have any other noise coming from that area. So today, 02-06-19, it was approximately 55 degrees outside and exact some thing happened with the exact circumstances, as soon as tires warmed up could not replicate the noise or feeling. Called the dealer and will be going in next Monday, so does anyone know what it could be? I tried searching in here but could not find anything similar.

Does the suspension drop (extend down) as you're turning? The tires will slide out quite a bit when you lower the car down after jacking it up and it seems like I've had something similar happen before as I turned down onto a decline. Once the rear makes it onto the decline so that the front is loaded once again, one of the front tires will be forced to slide outward.

I have same noises, going in tomorrow for what I hope is swaybar end links replacement, as the bolts are newer style and tight AF.

Literally sounds like wheel is about to fall off, like you left lug nuts loose.
