Re: Groan on accel

The front struts are known for some weird noises on ours, mine grunt and moan in the cold weather, usually when you punch it from a stop, or or let off suddenly, like you described, and it gets less severe the farther I drive. In warm weather it doesn't do it at all.

Does your sound just last the duration of the body squat from accel/decel or longer than that? When mine first started doing it, I thought it was a motor mount or something too, until I noticed I could sometimes hear a moan or grunt from the left front strut when I get out after driving.
