No fix was involved it just seemed to get tweeked at times and realinged itself "every now and then" when coming out of my drive way turning right.
No joke, a Chevrolet Uplander rental I drove had the same exact problem, it was a very heavy "clunk" from the left rear suspension when driving over a bump at 25-35 mph. I had no idea what it was.
Anyways;

I've driven both the manumatic and automatic Quatroportte. The manumatic was kind of jerky. The automatic made the car seem slow. It had a lovely interior though, and beautiful exterior.
I don't know if it's your style, but I like the Jaguar XJR. It's a bit of a sleeper, and it's more capable than you think for a traditional british sedan. I would also look at the Audi S6, smaller, but do you need the space (and lenght) of an S8?
