Anybody got a fix for the annoying front leaf spring clunking and slap when hitting a bump or transitioning a street to street turning left or right? What did you do about it?

Check the U bolts, make sure they are tight. Also check the springs to make sure non of the leaves are broke! You should not have that noise!

Over on the Kodiak group a poster has a kit that will illiminate all or 99% of the clunking and slapping. I urge all who have the front end racket to visit the group and determine for yourself whether or not this will benefit your situation. There is an explanation and pictures of the installation to view there.

I have ordered the blocks from Jack DeVries. If any are interested give them a call at 260-668-5511 and talk to Helen.
I'm anxious to see how it works on my Seneca.

Got the blocks today by priority mail. I installed them in about 15 mins. I'll drive it tomorrow and let you all know how it goes.

I got it out for a ride today and I would say that 99% of the racket is gone. I still get some slap from the rear of the spring pack on the drivers side. All is all I'm happy with the results.

Yah I saw that post over there and the installation instructions as well. It sure makes sense that's where the noise comes from. I've heard it a few times also, especially over bumps on a right hand turn. Had the dealer take a look during service and they said everything looked great under there. I'm going to show them that post and see if GM has mentioned it at all. Fix seems easy enough, but that kit seems steep.
