Strut Bearing Replacement @ 9000 Mile and @ 9 Months: Too Early

[maverick_rogue]

Hello,

My Rogue (SL FWD 2009) was making creaking sound on right turn for a couple of months.

Had the service guys look at it. Initially they lubricated suspension but it did not work.

Today, they had a second look at the issue and found Strut Bearing had clearance issues. Apparently it was loose.They replaced it and now it works just fine. No noise and less vibrations. Though , I wonder isn't it too early to have a strut Bearing replacement. I would expect this to happen when I change the shox and struts at 30K Miles or so? Any thoughts?

It is probably a problem from the manufacturing plant in Japan.Some other members had problem with their car because they were not well built and the quality check did not detect them.
