Default 16Z06 Clunking Noise when tuning

Noticed while turning and/or making a sharp turn or cutting the wheels while backing, a clunking noise coming from the front of the vehicle. I remembered this being a problem with the V2 CTSVs and there was a TSB that followed. Has anyone else had this experience other than I? It was really noticeable today with whether being a lot colder. Your feedback is greatly appreciated. I will check the lug nuts on the front just to make sure that is not the problem.


Thanks Members

From owner's manual:

Tire Chatter/Hop
When driving at slow speeds and in
very tight turns, the vehicle may
have tire chatter/hop. This condition
is normal and the vehicle does not
require service.

I have a '16 Z06 and it does the same. Seems it's from wide/low profile tires. Read it worst during cold temps.
