    hey guys, so this morning im on my way to work and I noticed some kind of a sound coming from the front end. It literally sounds like a squirrel going ape shit but it only starts up when im going over 60kph. the weird thing is that it doesn't happen when I go over bumps or anything, only when im going above 60. Just for shits and giggles I looked under my hood, and no squirrel lol. Its just really fuckin annoying, and I dont have the slightest clue as to what it could be. Anyone have/had the same prbm before?

    BAHAHAHAHAHA!!! oh man, I damn near spit my joe all over the computer screen :rofl: And I found out what the noise was by the way, just my damn hood pushing up and down on a rubber stopper was causing it. An easy fix luckily.
