Default Holy shniky, my front end sounds like a Party for Airbags, the suspension air bags are so noisy that

it becomes totally annoying. Has anyone ever experienced something like this? Could it be the dry weather and the age of the Air bags? They are fine, no damage, nada and the car rides also fine.

It happens in all driving levels (1-4) and I'll try to do some maintenance by spraying the air bags tonight, not sure this will do much good since I''ve just done it last week.

Any advise or recommendation would be much appreciated !!!

Default I will guess the rubber-noise coming from the bushing of the sway bar or from the link components...

Default Same here recently. Can hear a SKROUNCHYEYRCHCH when I stop hard.

Right front side mostly.

Haven't peeked in the wheel well or behind the belly pan yet.

Could this have been exacerbated by the tire shop not setting my allroad to JACK MODE correctly before lifting my car?
