When it is up on the lift the front drive shaft turns but wheels wont engage. one time when it got to 20 mph it slamed in hard and stayed in until we left the parking lot
There is an actuator in the front axle that engages the drive shaft to the wheels. there is also a vacuum actuator i believe in that model it is under the battery plate. if you put on lift you can trace the cable from the front axle back to the actuator and check the cable, actuator and vacuum lines. Gm's system is complex and when is messes up its a night mare. but common failures are actuator cracked or broken vacuum line.
Testimonial: "This is not an actuator like on the older chevy trucks? What makes it pull the axles in because we didnt see any vacuum lines. Do you have to tear the rear completely apart to fix it?"

if you have power stering oil in it its normal for the pump to be noisy its air that make that noise continue to drive air will come out by itself after a few kilometer it will go away if you have enough oil thanks pierre
SOURCE: Rumbling in front tires
You probably have a bad wheel bearing or bad tire on left front. when making right turn left front wheel wil spin faster than right making noise louder.
