Cavailer suspension a littel noiser when cold rather than hot, 18,000 miles by the way.
I took it to the dealer ( warranty on it still) and they drove it for 12 miles. They said the noise is normal. The front end noise is just the transfer of weight. Alright fine I can live with that, it doesnt realy bother me to much anways.
What the other thing is the car idles rough only till it heats up. Now the dealer said he knew about it but is waiting for GM to send out a program so they can reflash the PROM.
Just wondering if anyone else had a noisy suspension mainly when cold and a rough idle when cold until it heats up.

Yup. In every car/truck I've ever owned. Shock fluid is kind of funny when cold. I'm not sure what kind of noise you're hearing, but if its a slight rubbing noise, its ok.
Before the ECM goes into closed loop its running fuel enrichment, so it will idle rough until it goes into closed loop. My car stalls out sometimes before it goes into closed loop since the O2 sensor takes forever to warm up (non-stock location).
