I have read about the front suspension issues... I will be putting this car up on a lift...
Anyone know what direction of play I need to look for in the front end??

Its an 09 G8 GT Bright red 67K miles....
Any help will be greatly appreciated!!

this video should clear up what to check for.


Also look to see if the strut bushings in the engine bay look collapsed.

Not every G8 has those issues. Good luck OP

chances are that since its an 09 you still have some of the 5yr/100K powertrain left in case the **** hits the fan.

Mine has been nothing but a blast to own. And it has caught pure hell....

no problems with mine yet.

Where is this car located if I may ask?

Edit: Nvm just saw the posting date, we just traded in our 09 red g8 with 67k miles last week. Thought it was maybe our car lol

Not every one, but quite a few.
And there are other issues as well.

I've got an 09 GT that I would like to get rid of if you want it.

Check for driveline noise. Mine had to have the driveshaft replaced. The center console and steering wheel will have a thrumming pulsation. It was a pain in the *** to get GM to fix it.

Mine came in at 65mph and went away at 75mph. Just turn everthing off and drive at that speed and listen for it. I have heard GM is no longer replacing the driveshafts under warrant y so im not sure how they are repairing them now.

They are ok cars but not worth it unless you are just hung up on the styling.
