Folks,
I've picked up suspension-related squeaking from the left (driver) front shock tower in my '19 TM3P with 28K miles.
Service appointment has been scheduled, but is still weeks away.
I've taken the wheel off, and all bolted suspension links and bolts are firmly in place with no obvious sign of wear. I haven't figured out how to remove the fronk plastic tub to get to the upper shock mount, but otherwise, the shock tower looks clean.
I'm suspecting it is either:
1). LF shock had failed (without leaking)
2). Upper strut mount is failing (either ball bearing or the rubber mount)
3). The (infamous) upper control-arm assembly's ball joints
Does this sound familiar (pun intended) to anyone?
TIA,
a
