	I had the car up the other day to do a tire rotation. While I was 
at it I thought I would take advantage of the opportunity to snoop around 
a bit. I found one of the braces that hold the front nose steady was 
loosing the nut off the stud. It was about two turns from falling off. I 
had not heard any funny sounds or vibrations. There are two of these 
supports on each side of the car. The inner most one was the loose one 
(drivers side). Those of you who are noise hunting might want to check 
this out. Just have a gander into each front wheel well toward the front 
nose. Easy to see. Round pencil sized rods with fasteners at each end. 
They seem to support the edges of the nose.
