What owners wrote
I took my 2006 gto into the dealer in jan. 2009 for some warranty repair work on the fan switch. While performing a safety inspection the dealer noticed the right front strut was rubbing on the tire and causing significant wear on the inner tread. I had noticed a clunking sound as I went over speed bumps or turned tight like you would in a parking lot for approximately 3 months prior to that.
Took the vehicle to dealer for oil change and tire rotation. I inspected the vehicle myself while on the lift in service bay. Both front struts were leaking fluid ,and tire had rubbed paint off the struts.
