Description of the problem | Am hearing a light moan on light acceleration. I can hear it at all rpms and speed. But is at its loudest at 40-45 mph, just after it shifts into the highest gear. In last few wks- it seems to follow the exhaust to the rear. Dealership does not seem to verify it. Am returning for new rear struts that rattle-on warranty. What should i tell them when i return? Also can feel it through the steering wheel. *nm |
