TECHNICIAN ALSO FOUND THAT THE SPARE TIRE IS LOOSE AND COULD BE CONTRIBUTING TO THE NOISE THE CUSTOMER IS HEARING WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS. ENGINE AIR FILTER IS VERY DIRTY AND REPLACEMENT IS RECOMMENDED (SHOULD BE YELLOW BUT IT'S BLACK), THERE IS ALSO A LEAK ON WHAT APPEARS TO BE THE BACKSIDE OF THE MOTOR, COULD BE A REAR MAIN SEAL, BUT WILL NEED TO BE FULLY DIAGNOSED TO CONFIRM THE SOURCE OF THE LEAK.
