Hmmm...its not really a clunking sound and my car isnt lowered either.
And Dom, i havent changed the dif fluid at all, i thought it would be fine with such low km's? Plus iv had this noise since it was new, sound never gets worse, just always the same sorta "grindy", "windy" noise.

The S has such bad sound insulation that I have learned to live with many strange noises 
BTW, does anybody get brake squeal during the first minute or so of driving? Seems to go away after that...is it just the rust getting scraped off?
TIA

I know this sound... I have it on my '05 also.
Apparently it's my diff and could potentially turn into something bad.
Some people have had it start like this and then it gets worse and worse
I changed my diff fluid and it sounds a bit better now.
But I'm contemplating going to Buffalo to have my diff changed (if they agree to do it) under warranty.

If that axle nut is loose will it damage the car?
Chris you know how to fix this? Mabey I can swing by sometime we can do this fix along with change diff fluid? (missed the group one cause I was away)

the sound is uer brake pads on uer brake rotor. it happens after the car sits for a while. the pads stick in the holders and drage on the rotor as the rotor rotates. u should service uer brakes. take uer brake pads out and service uer cailper, sliders, holders and brake pads.
