2006: “I started hearing a clunk that seemed to come from the passenger side rear wheel well when starting from a stop. I pulled all 4 tires off to grease the car. On the rear passenger side, it appears that the rubber boot on the suspension knuckle is leaking and may be torn. I can't be sure at this time if the suspension knuckle is damaged. Although my vehicle is out of warranty, the mileage is very low (10,300 miles). I started to research on the internet for any known issues and came across the NHTSA investigation on viper suspension. …”
