I was told that when you pick up your new car your suppose to remove some kind of stopper in your suspension? Where is it located and how does it look like, do I need to raise the car to access it? Thanks

yah a good dealer would have removed the "shipping blocks" since it's part of the mechanic's test drive which is done on ALL vehicles... they are roughly 6 inches in size and located in the outside portion of the springs.. I found one on each side of my front springs, not sure if there are any in the rear as I haven't had to check for them...

The car shouldnt be able to drive properly with it on would it? I think mine are probably taken off because it runs fine except that it makes a loud tire noise when I make turns.
