Come on guys. No one has looked at my solution for the clicking or front end compression creaking.
My clicking (shift- click click click) was the front hub splines. A little grease and it hasn't been back.
The groaning and creaking under front end compression was the strut bump stops rubbing against the shaft instead of sliding. Made a LOT of noise with little wrong by resonating through the body. A generous application of dielectric grease and THAT noise hasn't been back.
You have techs tearing your cars apart replacing things for nothing. I know, one dealer replaced the top strut plates to no avail.
CX9Zoom's may have been the mount, since I didn't hear it, or they may have reduced it by simply removing and reinstalling the tire when they replaced the mount.
