May 2019 Raven. I had shudder at around 4K miles sometime around November 2019 and Half shafts replaced shorty thereafter with moderate pressure on SC. Noise gone but came back a few months later. Called SC and they said about the same everyone here is reporting except now the theory was that cold weather was a contributing factor. Would not replace half shafts a second time (for now).
Somewhere around May 2020 the noise disappeared for the entire summer without any SC intervention. Late September as temps dropped, noise returned. On the occasional warm days in October and even November, noise is gone. We're in Boston, fyi.
I use Standard height + auto lowering customarily. However, if I drop to Low on the cold days it disappears.
Using SC's latest theory about temps, my experience does seem to concur that the mechanical issue introduced by the height is further complicated by cold (aka thicker) lubrication within the affected parts.
