Strange noise in GTS 7MT
I've put roughly 750 miles on the GTS and I love it accept 1 thing.
Driving over broken pavement at low speeds or over uneven road conditions or undulations, the car, actually sounds like the rear suspension or engine compartment, makes a thumping noise similar to have loose luggage in a trunk. The car drives and handles great but I'm trying to see if this is normal.

Problem solved.
I drive over to the dealership. The tech drove the car and the noise was very apparent. He put the car up on the lift and found the problem quickly.
Apparently, a small stone got lodged between the stabilizer bar and control arm. There is a very tight tolerance and it was causing the noise to echo through the car when hitting a bump.

How DARE YOU post a quick and final solution to this issue!
This thread could have stayed alive for at least a week with rampant speculation over what your mysterious sound might be, and here you've gone and killed the whole thing.
Sheesh...
