Have there been a lot of rear half shafts needing to be replaced on 2006 pontiac solstices

I have always heard a clunking sound on occasion I took it in 3 time, they never heard it...now I have 28,000 miles on it they finally heard it and said rear end is binding and clutches do not release. They fixed the grinding I've been hearing but say I need to replace the rear half shafts 900,00$. I feel that has always been the prob and would have been covered under warranty..do you think that is possible since I had it in for the noise..they just couldn't hear it...I know my car is old but I only have 28,000 miles

SOURCE: Hearing clunk noises after going over bumps on the road..

Check the front struts ( shock absorber ) If original or very old, they are doing no good. Also check the front TORSION BAR rubber bushings. In low temps will groan and creak, on up and down motions.

SOURCE: clunking from front end

CHECK FRONT STABILIZER LINK KITS FOR PLAY.
ONE ON EACH SIDE ATTACHED TO STRUTS.

SOURCE: Front End Rattling in 2006 Pontiac Pursuit

We had the same problem brought to our shop and what it ended up being is the vehicle was in an accident a it twisted the unbody frame just enough to the point it would throw off the front end angles and it has the same vibrating / rattling noise from the front end. But there area list of different problems as well

SOURCE: 1999 Ford F150 4x4 has a pulsating roar in the rear end.

Almost certainly wheel bearings. They really roar if they become pitted.

When is it necessary to replace intermittent steering shaft on 2006 Pontiac G6? Steering makes a clunk sound sometimes when I turn.

You could have worn Cross links or a ball joint out or if it has the struts it is the stabilizer bar that could be worn. It would have to be checked for where the noise is coming from, you would need to do a front end alignment after repair.

Just as I'm coming to a stop the car jerks and makes a clunking noise. also the check engine light came on. This all happened today.

SOUNDS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH IS NO UNLOCKING, HAVE THE SYSTEM TESTED, THE CLUTCH WILL HAVE SET A TROUBLE CODE, THAT IS WHY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON.

My solstice has a clunk from differential area when driving slow or sitting still and release the clutch enough to engage. another trans clutch kit flywheel and diff and still has same problem. 2006

Check the drive shaft u-joints.Another indication of bad u-joints is a vibration at certain speeds (like 65mph).There's play somewhere in the drive train.Check rear suspension too.Jack up back of car so wheels are off the ground,Have someone run the car through a couple gears and look under back of car for exactly where the noise may be.Also while back of car is off the ground w/car off put car in gear so the back wheels dont spin.Grab one of the wheels and rotate it back and forth from stop to stop and listen for any clunk noise.The wheel should turn less than an eighth from stop to stop.

TR6 Clunking

Does it go away or change when you depress the clutch. If so you will need to inspect the clutch pressure plate and bearing. You may need to remove trans. You may have a loose bolt on the flywheel that backed off a little.

The blower motor makes horrendous noises on the higher speeds. On speed 1, I don't hear any noises. There's a little rumble on 2, and the 3 and 4 shake the whole car. This is happening when the heater is...

Sounds like the bearings that are on the shaft which the fan turns on are in severe need of lubrication. You can remove the fan unit and shoot some WD40 onto the shaft and bearings.
