Sounds like your problem is different... but thought I'd mention the noise I was having...

A sharp turn to the left or hitting a bump during a gentle left turn was resulting in a strange clunk sound. It sounded like it was coming from the front suspension most of the time, but sometimes sounded like it was from the rear.

In such cases, as I usually do with sounds, I got a buddy to come along to do the driving or listening and triangulating while the other drives to reproduce the sound. No damn sound.

Finally isolated it...

It was the passenger side seat belt latch clunking against the aluminum door/side... which echoed through the aluminum frame, concealing its location.

I was glad I had not brought it in to the shop for fixing! :-) Just thought that might help someone someday.

Mark,
I spoke with my buddy this afternoon. He did not know the source of the noise. He was just told that it needed a part that was on back order. Which leads me to believe that it is becoming more prevelent. He will find out the exact cause and what is being done to repair it and I'll pass it a long.

You aren't the only one. My buddy just sent his '03 360 back to the dealer to have this addressed. He described it as a clunk or rattle. I don't know what if anythiing they have found wrong though.

My 360 makes a noise when I drive it over uneven surfaces or bumps. Sounds like something is not quite right in the suspension. The noise is coming form both the front and the rear. Car is brand new, now with 1500 miles on it. Any help or sugestions would be greatly appretiated.
