Purchased the car in October 2005. Began to notice a popping sound from the right front of the car in low speed turns. Took in to be checked November 9 2005 with 901 miles on the car. Dealer replaced right front strut assembly, shock absorber/damper
popping sound from the right front of the car in low speed turns returned it now also occurred when accelerating and stopping, and was much louder. Took in to be checked March 6 2006 with 2300 miles on the car. Dealer installed damper mounting base and/or bearing and/or spring seat. Dealer also installed "silencer tubes" on the suspension. Installation of the silencer tubes is an unacceptable "fix. " this clearly indicates that the dealer knows the problem will return and wants only to cover up the symptom.
