Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Strut rub on 2004 pontiac gto, both left and right front. right front had very bad tire wear on inside and out side of tire. took the car in for state inspection and had 4 new tires put on it, dealer found bad left tie rod end and replaced it, also aligned the car. but when i pointed out the tire rub on both struts, he told me this was ok (???) i don't think so but would like to have this on record for future reference, this car has been pampered and should have had no strut rub, no hard cornering ect and only 29k miles. i did put on a 10 millimeter narrower tire 235/45zr17 instead of 245/45zr17 so as to be proactive and not have this problem in the future, but this should not be the solution to early tierod or strut failure, as i appear to have. iwould just like gm to stand behind the carand acknolege when there is a problem and resolve it. *jb updated 01-11-08. *kb
