got a popping/clanking sound coming from what sounds to be the front right tire area of my '06 gto when i turn sharply at slow speeds going into driveways with an incline or recess. did it since i 1st got the car but thought it had to do with the sport suspension and low travel distance of the shocks and what not. anyway, called the dealership and asked them if my struts were going bad cuz i've heard so much talk about this, or front stabillizer link, and dealership claimed they had no knowledge that such a problem with the struts existed. the dealership then asks me if i modifed the car, changed the rims and tires or anything. i'm thinking, ok, they are trying to see if i might've done something to the front end that may get them out of having to fix it. i told them no, got the factory 18" rims and tires. he said ok, changed the intake or anything? i told him ya that i put a k&n aircharger cai on it and he said it voided the warranty. i called the other dealership that is about 20 miles further away, they never asked any modifications questions and i didn't volunteer the k&n info. i printed out the magnusson-moss warranty info i got from the forum posts. if i bring this paperwork in, does this gaurantee that they will look at my struts/front end for free? or can they still say no and i have to take action in some other way? last i checked, a rubber tube and filter have nothing to do with a front end clanking while turning at low speeds...
