Hey everyone - <p>I'm new to this forum and have had my R for about 2 months now. <p>I've learned to live with some noises I took as being normal quirks of the R, but after reading through some posts I'm wondering if I should bring these up to a dealer prior to warranty expiring. <p>- It seems when I turn the wheel all the way to the left I get a really nasty tire rub noise which I understand is common....but after reading some things I'm wondering if it might be a symptom of a failing steering rack? <p>-My tranny seems loud when shifting from gears 1-3, a bit of a metallic clunk going into these gears and mostly noticeable driving with the windows down at slow speeds....had assumed it was just a noisy and typical Volvo tranny. Is this something I should be concerned with? <p>-When accelerating lightly out of 1st and 2nd, with radio off and listening closely when I first touch the accelerator I get a bit of annoying creak from the front end. Seems to do it mostly when the car is cold or has been resting for a while. Typical suspension groans? Or something else?<p>Appreciate any feedback - I'm running out of time!! <p>Thanks! <p><br>
