Picked the car up about 2 weeks ago and I have to say it is the most fun car I've ever driven. Started noticing some noise coming from the the front driver side upon low speed tight steering, particularly on steep grades up and down. Sounds almost like a ball joint that's not fully lubed if you know what I mean. Anyone Hearing the same I am???

Figured it out.

I feel kind of stupid for not inspecting before posting but I found out it was the transport spacers in the coil springs that are binding. Appearantly, some of these dealers don't know to remove them. Heard about this with the gt350. Just have to jack it up and extract.

If that was missed, your tire pressures are probably also 50+.

41f/38r and the car gets even better.
