SOURCE: i hit a bump on

Sounds like your left front wheel bearing is going bad. When you make a right turn, or compress the right front suspension over a bump, it forces the car to roll to the left. This loads the suspension on the left side, which will exaggerate a wheel bearing problem. Are you hearing the noise at all when travelling on the highway in a straight line? If so, it'd be either a grinding sound or a hollow humming noise. If you aren't, it may be that the bearing is just starting to go bad.

A quick test to see if the bearing is bad is to jack the car up at that corner, grab the wheel at the top and bottom, and shake it hard - if there is any movement or looseness, your bearing is shot. If there is none, it doesn't mean the bearing is fine, but it could be that it's just starting to go bad (which would be why you only hear it in turns and bumps, but not straight-line yet).

That's where I'd go first. check with driveline unloaded (neutral with wheels off the ground.)

It's at the very back of the block, top-center, under the intake manifold.

What type of engine battery is recommended for a 2003 Chev avalanche. right now it has an ac delco side post mount, with a green eye sensor

I would say duralast. Most chevy people use it. It is a good dependable battery. When you take the old one in, just make sure you pick the same size and side post kind.

Power seat in chevy 03 avalance not working

Check the fuse, make sure it isn't damaged/blown. Check the connectors that go to the seat to make sure that it has power going to it. If you hear noise when trying to move the seat it has power, and is probably a bad seat motor and will have to be replaced.

Not sure what engine you have, most 4.8, 5.3, 6.0s are WAAAY back in the middle of the engine facing the drivers side, very difficult to get to.

How to change 2003 waterpump chevy van 2500 series

Instructions too long to write here. you can find them in any cheap manual such as haynes. Most important part of job is to make sure you remove ALL of the old gasket on block before replacing with new, and to re-check all hose connections after you run it for a while to prevent leaks. Make sure you can remember where belt routing is so that you're not stumped when you go to put it back on.If it overheated, it's wise to replace thermostat...they get weird after overheating.
