Noise from rear suspension or frame
I purchased a used 2001 s2k with 42k on it. It has a noise from the rear that sounds like a loose bolt [maybe]. Only does it when going slow over bumps or potholes, in fact it does it sometime if I sit down hard.
Since I purchased from a dealer and have the "Certified" used car deal with the one year bumper to bumper warantee, I took it back where I purchased it.
They say this is "normal". Since then I took a 2500 mile road trip where it made the same noise all the time, but caused no problem otherwise.
Can anyone tell me if this really is something I need to live with, or should I shop dealers until it gets fixed???
BTW I also have a 2000 Acura GSR and am a little bummed about the low end torque compared. Hate haveing to come out of the hole at 7k to get good numbers. BUT, love roadsters, and this is one you ware, not drive. Love it.

while some sounds might be normal and others might not be normal, have them inspect the suspension and subframe and check for any abnormalities. If they already did this, there really isn't much to do.
