Gallardo problem

is it when you hit bumps? if it is, its normal, i believe its the bumpstops

 

I have not had this problem

 

you have not experienced NYC potholes

yes but i think that sound is completely normal or we are experiencing the same problem.

 

Mine did it and it was fixed by some mod to front sway bar. I've done a few miles lately and it might be coming back. Not always there, but sometimes.

 

Never had a rattle on mine, fortunately.

 

i spoke to the lambo dealership mechanic today, he said there is something he can tighten on the sway bar, so the car will go in and we'll see if it fixes it. the car shows no adverse handling or ride quality as is, but just for piece of mind it will be addressed

 

I have 9800 miles on mine ..I had a rear sway bar rattle early on not since then anyhow.

 

Wayne, great to see you are getting plenty of use out of the G. I turned over 16,000km (10,000mi) this morning, so we are neck and neck!

 

You both lose 12,500 miles in just over 4 months!

 

sway bar bushing could be worn out....try checking with your local authorized Lamborghini Service center.

 

I have the exact problem. It was present the very first mile I put on my new Gallardo E gear. Took it in for the first checkup. They said they tightened the front sway bar. I picked the car up and it was better, but not totally gone. After appx. 100 miles it fully came back. Now worse than ever.

I'm taking it back to the dealer next week for repairs again.(2,700mis.)

My rattle sounds like it's coming from the left front. It sounds to me like it may be part of the front wheel drive running gear. It isn't present at all on smooth roads, but bumpy roads brings this rattle out big time.

Other than that, I love the car.

taking ours in tomorrow to get repaired i'll let you guys know what happens...BTW... it would take a lot more then a noice to make me dislike this car. It would take a murci

 

going in for sway bar, waiting while its fixed...they have free espresso!

 

it would be quicker to flatbed it to lamborghini of bergen county and tell em rob sent ya

 

HI Jimmy,

That sucks. Is that the best Lamborghini of Dallas can do? I'd never do business like that! I hope they finally get your car fixed.

Regards,
Rob.

 

Talked to Jimmy earlier this week. We are just waiting for him to give us a few days with the car to get everything taken care of.

 

This kind of problem is incredibly hard to diagnose - the stiff unibody transmits noise in funny ways I am sure. My G has some front end noises, too, that I am pretty confident are not sway bar bushings, having had the car in the air myself. I think it could be in the shocks themselves, or perhaps in the control arms or bushings - all very hard to diagnose as it is impossible to put realistic loads into the suspension with the car on a rack. I plan to have this studied when I get to my 7500 mile check, but for now it clearly does not affect the performance of the car one bit and is iaudible with any serious engine rpms or the radio turned up, so I don't sweat it. The car is otherwise perfect and too much a joy to drive to do without while someone chases this noise. I actually hope the noise gets worse and easier to diagnose, so I'd rather just drive.
