I noticed it the other day on my way to work. Went slowly over a speed bump and heard a horrible creaking noise from the front and rear end as each passed over the bump. It was definitely more noticeable in the front though. Is this normal for a 2012 with under 3K miles?

 

There is a TSB about lower control arm bushings squeaking for 2012s. Take it to the dealer.

 

Thanks for the info. Will drop it off when I get back from vacation.

 

Here is a super long read if you want to check it out. Probably your Lower Control Arm hydro-bushing. This is one big headache if you ask me. I've been to the dealer 6 times over this. 3 for diagnosis, and 3 different times for parts. Just got 2nd set of control arms put on this morning.

I have fallen victim to the bad bed spring sound. Both in front and rear over speed bumps. I can rule out a few things. Shocks are new Koni's with less than 2k on them. Odds of all four failing is highly unlikely. Front LCA can also be rulled out due to it also happening in the rear. No hydro bushing there. Most likely it's my Strano sway bar bushings, going to degrease them this weekend.

 

Pasting from earlier reply to one of the dozen or so threads about this:

Yes, commmon. There's a TSB (TSB 11-7-8) out for it. And dozens of threads about it. It mainly does it when the car is warmed up, not when it's been sitting for a few hours/over night. In most cases, the dealer replaces the front lower control arms (LCAs). That's what they did on my car.
