2002 chevy venture with 136,000 has a knocking type noise coming from the left front side, took it to the tire place he said its not the shocks or tires said to bring it to dealer could be steering box? car runs great for years just this knocking noise started but still runs and knock noise only when slowing down or pulling in and out of the driveway . No noise when driving on highway. what could it be?

SOURCE: front shocks

I have had the same problem since the car was about 3 years old (I drive my Camry hard)....it's the strut. Not dangerous, just an annoying sound that will get louder as the car ages. Me left, front strut is bad too. The estimate for replacing both front struts is $1,000, so I have driven it for 7 years without making the repair.

Sounds like rust build up on the rotors,this is a common problem with after market rotors,or it is a squealer tab and they squeal to warn you before damage is done to the rotors when brake pads are 2/3 worn down.have a brake inspection done.

If there is snow and ice building up around the wheel speed sensors, yeh, that would make the light come on.

It could be the control arm bushings. One on each side. They wear out after a few years.

Jack up the front end and put stands under it and block rear wheels. Look at axle boots and see if they are cracked. Try turning wheel back and forth sharply and see if you can hear any clicking. Problem could be outer axle joints. If the boots are cracked or you hear a clicking noise you will have to replace the axle. The axle and boot come as a complete unit. Please let me know what you find out.
