[QUOTE="teejaypee101, post: 22295, member: 8281"] Forgive my noobieness, I'm new to the forum. I tried to search the threads for "Groaning noise with vehicle speed" & "Groan in the front end," but I didn't get too many hits for my symptoms. This is a 2014 Chevy Equinox SE. It's the smallest 4 cylinder in these cars with about 120k miles on it. I have a groaning coming from the front end that I can feel in my feet and and little in the steering wheel.
