MoeFord 7 Posted March 19, 2013 I have an EB XR6 5 speed. As of late I have noticed that when i am cruising at certain speeds there is a bit of a strange groaning noise coming from the back of the car. When i change speeds and/ or gears it goes away. It usually happens when im cruising at about 110kms or when im in second gear at low speeds. Any ideas? thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XBTAS 76 Posted March 19, 2013 Does it happen when you're accelerating from low RPM? If you were to drop down a gear at 110kmh does it go away? Does it cause a vibration through the car? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
