so was doing a mountain run with the lamborghini group the other day and about half way through started hearing a sound that sounded like the bottom of the car on the left side was hitting when going around a hard right corner.

Never had this issue before. Could this be the abc system going bad or possibly a strut block?

Checked tire pressure? Simple things first. The car is very heavy and especially on the front 5- 10 psi less pressure will bottom out most tire/ rim setups when front is pushed hard.


Said that- it could be a collapsed bushing.

Abc problems usually result in demon eyes on the dash

Tire pressure is good.

Regarding abc failure, i did end up getting a red warning on the dash for brakes, think the sbc is going out, but assumed that the sbc is not connected to the abc system.

Am i incorrect?

so looks like i might have a small leak in one of my struts which is affecting the dampening. However the leak is so minor the repair shop cant say for sure that this is what is causing the issue. They just want to replace the strut and see if that fixes it.

anyone know of a way to diagnose if this is the issue?

Did it sound like a rattle when u went over dips and bumps? I'm having that issue now on my front left. I don't think it's bushings since I replaced those like 10k miles ago, but I'm thinking it has to be something with the suspension, last alignment the front left was way off, (forgot if it was the toe or camber).

I had it aligned this week when I hit a pot hole in DC and blew my tire out on the front right, and i went over a slight bump over a manhole cover and its slightly off again. I'm thinking maybe a bolt is loose or a part like the control arm needs to be replaced?

no wasnt a rattle. literally sounded like the bottom of the car smacked the ground. which it turns out it did. I can see where the exhaust hit.
