So a few months goes by and I decide ok before I ship out for a month let's knock this out real quick. Low and behold this is what I find. Damn frame nut is about 1/4" unscrewed. I swear if my car stops making noise now I'm going to drive by my dealer and toss the new control arm through the window! FML. How hard would it have been to just check the bolts. There's only three and you were doing an alignment anyway!!!! Cmon!
Now the real question is why did this come loose to begin with. Hmm.

Keep us posted as started having a similar noise coming from right passenger suspension.
Thanks for the DIY! |
Tightened it up and went for a short drive. No more noise. I'll be more confident tomorrow when I go to work.
