something wrong with my mp3???

[stdntDrvr]

i've had this car for 3 days...i know about the "rear" clunk issue...but i have a rattle/clunk from the front passenger side...i also have some squeaking noise...it's not as often as the rear "clunk"...mainly over rough bumps in the road...but it's there. any ideas?
Thanks,
Chris

Well basically it's like this......The bushings in both ends of the cars suck.

ahh...i've got an appointment at my dealership for them to look at the rear clunk...since there's a TSB for it...so i'll just get them to check both...it's still under warranty, and i worked there before, so hopefully they won't give me any s***.

LOL, her second post, and I nominate it for post of the year .

Yeah, the one downfall of the MP3 is the suspension noise. I still love my car though. Supposedly there are some newer bushings for the front now, but who knows what those do. I don't mind the squeak very much. Check out the clunk threads here. Some people have gone with aftermarket bushing that have lasted A LOT longer, in fact, are still lasting after 6 months through winter.

I got the newer rear bushings (156E) at the end of January, and I believe the noise is coming back. I can't wait til my warranty is out, so that it actually kicks me in the pants to go aftermarket and rid me of this noise forever.
