My suburban seems to only make this noise for me. I will be driving and start hearing this noise that is almost like a fan blade hitting something. I slow down to a stop, and as the vehicle slows the winding noise slows down to. Then as the vehicle comes to a complete stop, it makes this "thunk" type sound. A couple times it has done it, and the "thunk" has been hard enough that I could feel it as if it was right under me in the driver seat.

I have had it into Aamco several times and of course it won't do it for them.

Well most recently it does it after the vehicle is taken out of 4 x 4.

Any idea's???? I want it fixed before it breaks for good, cause I have children to haul around in this thing.
