Pontiac Gto Suspension Front Macpherson Strut Safety Report | Mar 18, 2006
Reported on Mar 18, 2006
| AFTER I HAD PUT 20,000 MILES ON MY CAR I COULD HEAR A RUBBING NOISE FROM THE FRONT WHEEL. UPON CLOSER INSPECTION I NOTICED THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE WAS RUBBING AGAINST THE STRUTS ON BOTH FRONT WHEELS. SINCE I HAD THE TIRES ROTATED ON A REGULAR BASIS ALL FOUR WHEELS HAD THE WEAR ON THE INSIDE. SINCE THE TIRES WERE BUBBLING OUT ON THE INSIDE WALL OF THE FRONT TIRES I PURCHASED NEW TIRES. THE NEW TIRES WERE STILL RUBBING THE STRUTS. I TOOK IT TO THE FIRST DEALERSHIP AND THEY SUGGESTED GRINDING DOWN THE STRUTS. THE NEXT DEALERSHIP I TOOK IT TO CHANGED THE CAMBER IN MY ALIGNMENT. IT NOW HAS 1/8 INCH CLEARANCE AND WHEN I HIT BUMPS OR WHEN I TURN THE WHEEL SHARPLY IT STILL RUBS. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CLAIM IT IS WITHIN SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE CAR. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT ADDRESS THE PROBLEM AS IF IT DOESN'T EXIST. *NM | |
