The dealers wont grease the old ones anymore. If you had your old one greased under warranty and are having the problem again, they will replace it with the updated shaft for free even if you are out of warranty. Had mine done about 10k ago, still no clunk.

Yeah, and the Brooklyn Bridge is available for $350...

The best and simplest solution for the clunk is the muffler clamp fix. Costs all of $3 and takes 10 minutes or less. Sure wish I had known about this while I had my Avalanche.

It'd be nice if someone had a DIY that they could post up.

Well Sam...I dont know how much easier it can get than showing you pics of where to install the clamp. Want a write-up to explain to you how to use a nut driver and the exact procedure for operating a hose clamp?
