turbocharged 365hp 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
| 68000 mi | Dealer has yet to diagnose a clunking occurring in the left front, though I was able to replicate it on my last visit. Only happens during right hand turns. Sounds like stabilizer link but they can't find it. |
| 88000 mi US $750 |
Tire dealer replaced all 4 struts and shocks. Left front was leaking, car had 85,000 miles so I opted to do all 4. This was the source of the undiagnosed clunk from LF. |
