whats that stuff called that is like some kind of insulation foam? i know they make it for houses, but they make it for cars too. my parents took their cadillac to someone to fix something in the door and he took w/e it was out to get to the problem, fixed the problem, and didnt replace the foam and now they get wind noise like crazy from the door. i was wondering if that would help if we used that in our doors maybe?

I get pull to the left side *sometimes*. Mainly at highway speeds as well, and especially on wide-open highways, like the 3 lane Ohio Turnpike. It doesn't do it all the time though, and it won't do it regardless of speed if I'm on a traditional road, so.. I just figured it was the natural lay of the road, I'm guessing the Pirelli P6's don't help much either if that's what you have on yours - I can't wait til these are worn out and I can justify some Michellin's.
What's worse than the slight drift though is that I catch wind like HELL. Sometimes I feel like it's going to blow me off the road, especially when passing a truck and it's been blocked and finally hits me. Before this I had a Cougar and *never* experienced this much from wind.
I think they should've put the thing in a wind tunnel sideways as well.

So I have been noticing a rattle/hum too....
It is a dash rattle that is caused by the engine....when I shift at a certain rpm it makes the dash hum. I guess its the frequncy of the engine that makes it hum, but it only happens when i'm shifting at that rpm. i guess about 3.5-4k rpm.
its bizzar, but surely nothing like you guys are dealing with.
N E one have this problem too?

i have a rattle, coming from what seems to be the suspension when i go over bumps.. as someone said before might be the control arm bushings, i'll be taking my car in soon to see if they can fix it because i've had enough wih the noise, it sounds like the car is going to fall apart.. if they give me one of these we can't duplicate the prob bs, it will be trade in time for an import.
