Morning everyone. So I called my dealer, theyve already replaced the right front strut once due to a weird sound Ive been hearing. It went away and then came back a couple weeks ago. I went out, drove the service manager around. He heard it but said it sounded fine. I didnt agree but whatever. Since yesterday it got warmer here the sound became louder. I called them, bitched a little and they are ordering another strut. WTF is going on here, are you guys or gals experiencing any werid noises coming from the right front suspension area. Its a sound that is defiently noticable, sounds way different than the left front

Talk to CodeRed. He can take you through his whole ordeal with this same issue. The only issue I've had is when I turn right into parking spaces at slow speeds I feel a slight "thump Thump" in my steering wheel. I took it to the dealer and they popped it up on the lift and said everything looks fine. They did a double check as well as I know the general manager of the dealership personally. I figured it was my CV joints but they said they looked fine.

I have had this same problem, when turning right, particularly when moving slowly. My dealer took a look at it and eventually replaced the steering column. It was good for a while, but it seems like the problem is coming back.

It's a slight thunk and a little vibration in the wheel, almost as if I'm driving over seams in the pavement... which is exactly what I'd think it was, if it did the same thing turning left as predictably.

Yea, it just does it with me turning right which is weird. I'm going to just go ahead with it and have them check it out again when my warranty is almost up which is awhile from now.

Im getting this noise when Im driving straight as well. I deliberately drive 5-10mphs and roll over bumps. The sound is sooo weird. I dont think its the steering column or the stabilizer bar. Ive gone underneath and tapped areas with a rubber mallet. Havent heard anything yet
