Probably. They won’t ride with me due to covid, and haven’t even driven my car more than 3-5 miles at a time. Every time I’ve dropped it with a full tank and told them drive it all week, drive it to lunch, drive it home, just drive it like it’s yours and eventually they’ll hear the noise. They always return it with an additional 3-5 miles on it though.Thanks, I'll need the luck. I made an appointment for this Wednesday and fully described the issues in writing so I don't forget anything when I go there. Requested a tech rides with me, I don't think they will be able to miss the noise. I took a video, as well (it's much louder in the video than it is in person). Attached, if you had a similar noise.
The creaking noises are likely the lower control arm bushings.
I still have a rattle which is something in my left front strut. I can’t duplicate it on a jack, so unless it gets so bad I can isolate it, I’ll probably follow the TSB and replace my strut’s bump stop, although I’m unsure how it’d make such a noise. When I do that, I’ll inspect the strut mount and strut, and replace it I see a reason, or reassemble, and go from there. I can do the work myself, it just sucks to be fixing a car that should’ve been fixed while under warranty.
