Well, whats interesting is that I had no issues before (at Summit Point) with the oem fluid and changed it out anyway to Redline 75w90 (no viscosity modifier) prior to this event. Took a corner quickly tonight on the street (not even that fast really) and it triggered the issue, and continued for about a mile down the road in a straight line whenever I got on the gas or over bumps, then only over bumps, then went away again. Almost seems like its a bearing or joint or something... I did smack a curb with the left rear hard enough to have to replace almost all the suspension components on that corner a couple months ago, but that was pre-summit point and no issues there. I think its time to take the numbers, tow hook and NASA sticker off, get it over to the dealership and play dumb.

You could really do something with that brake ducting idea, could be pretty slick. Either one wide and low center scoop placed bottom center on the hood (with seperate draw thoughs at each end) or a scoop at both front corners, seems like a lot of potential here compared to existing ad hoc setups. Though putting holes in your hood may be a bit drastic for the common man heh.
