My 17 stated the front creaking noise

400 miles on my new 17 and it started that creaking grinding noise like the passenger front body mount bushing is no good. When you flex the vehicle pulling in the driveway or I had some washboard Road area and it did it. I was hoping they had this fixed

 

I've had the same problem, and of course couldn't get it to do it at the dealership. Sounds like the front end is dropping out.

 

On my old truck I was able to always make the body mounts creak by either standing on the door sill and rocking up and down or grabbing under the fender well and lifting up and down. Give it a try, if it is creaking while driving, it will creak when you do that.

 

Get it to chirp for a dealer and get it under warranty. Given the fact that they either fail immediately or have no symptoms, my understanding is that it's an installation process issue at the factory. No good way to QC a body mount before delivery + they can get "cut" by over-torquing.

 

It sounds terrible like it's an old clunker truck
