[QUOTE="Sam_S, post: 1643821, member: 32369"] Hello all, I have this metallic rattling coming front what I think is the front hub area. Sounds kind of like a loose shopping cart wheel going over a rough parking lot. It actually started in January and I heard it at freeway speeds as more of a metallic spinning/whooshing, followed by a “thunk” and it would be gone for a while. Now the sound is at slow speeds just driving down a street or parking lot. If anywhere that amplifies or reflects sound, like a parking garage, it is pretty freakin’ loud. Took it in back in Jan, when under 60k miles and they said they were unable to replicate it. Now, with it much louder, I brought it back and they could replicate it. Of course, now I’m at 64k and they don’t want to cover it under warranty. The tech said he thinks it’s the front hubs and he wants to charge $850 in labor just to tear down the hubs and see if he can find anything! I told him no thanks. Does anyone here have other ideas as to what it may be? I’ve seen some other posts about IWE check valves but not sure what sounds they are hearing. I will say, when it is rattling, if I switch to 4A, it goes away immediately. Also, any tips on how I should lean on the dealer to fix it under warranty since this looks and sounds like a repeat issue they did not diagnose and fix the first time? [/QUOTE]
