    Default 150K miles new to me G8 GT

    Hello, The name's Dave & I'm the new proud owner of a 09 150k miles G8 GT! This car already has an aftermarket exhaust and a couple other extra little touches. Looking forward to picking up some new knowledge on the car.

    Thanks guys.
    Its got a couple issues though, the left rear wheel leans in at the top and there's clunking but I knew this going into the deal.
    Are there any usual suspects back there I should look for?

    I crawled under the car, all the rear arms looked good, the rear swaybar links and bushings looked old but good also. Maybe the upper strut mounts? but who knows...
