Scrunching noise in right rear wheel well.
My car has been making a "scrunching" noise from the right rear wheel well. It only makes the noise when the suspension is loaded or unloaded in turns or going over bumps. It is quiet going 70 down a smooth road.
I took it into the dealer, thinking maybe it was a loose strut or something similar. So, they call me back and say that "um, we think the noise is coming from the ball joint, but we're not sure, but everything looks okay and everything, so we think it is okay to drive it so can you come and pick it up?" WTF? This dealership blows. I need to find somewhere with more NSX expertise.
Anyway, the ball joint idea seems reasonable, but the part about it being "okay to drive" doesn't. Anyone else have any experience with this? This particular service department is so weak that I am exceeding reluctant to allow them to replace the ball joint (they quoted me $2400) and have it turn out NOT to be the problem. Of course I wouldn't mind it as much if it WAS the problem.
Any thoughts?
