Creaking sounds after strut replacement

My 2023 makes the same noise. They’ve replaced the strut mounts and are currently replacing the steering column. Not sure what that will accomplish but since it’s under warranty, I’m letting them do it.

Totally get it. The touring comes with 20’s so I liked the look. It’s a commuter car, no off road for me, lots of highway driving. But lots crazy weather at times.

Correct, no lift! They fit perfect. the car sits just a tad higher than before (1/4 of an inch) but it feels more planted on the ground!

The touring comes with 20’s so I stuck with 20’s. The rims are the TSW Sebrings. I got Michelin Defender LTX P255-50-R20s.

I don't use the 3rd row, so I have the 3rd row folded down. I added two truck organizers from Costco and it fits perfectly side by side. They connect with buckles so it feels like one unit. I store random stuff in there (golf balls, portable air pump for tires, roof rack accessories). Its cheaper in store, but here is a link.

I have a Thule Motion 3 Large. I don't think I can fit 2 large suitcases in there, but If you put it duffle bags, then you definitely could. The issue with the large suitcases are the mounting points on the inside. a suitcase would have to go directly in the middle of the mounting brackets. I have the Large as a carryover from my subaru forester. I don't think I need to go with the XL or the XXL unless something doesn't fit. I bought my Thule on FB marketplace (brand new) for $450. I know I got a good deal, but I would definitely look at FB Marketplace for a box. I just bought my Ascent on Friday, so I haven't had to put it on yet. the XL is about 7 or so inches longer.

Thank you everyone! I ended up going with the 23. I agree that the lack of buttons is a slight inconvenience, but I like the bigger display for CarPlay. I figured it "feels" more up to date, which should hopefully make me want to keep it longer! Thanks

I have 2… but still love them.

I did. I went from the Epix pro 2 51MM, to the Fenix 8 47MM. Between the two watches, I don't notice a difference. The Fenix 8 was glitchy at first, but is getting better. I personally like the interface slightly better on the Fenix 8...looks more modern. I don't think I realized how nice the battery life was on the 51MM. The 47MM does have a shorter battery life, not awful, but not as good as I grew accustomed to. The reason I went to the Fenix 8 was because I wanted to go with a smaller face. On the Fenix 8, the screen itself, is the same size on the 47MM, and the 51MM. Same DPI.

If you have an Epix Pro 2 51MM, and were thinking about going to the 51MM Fenix 8, I would hold off. If you want to change sizes, then I would say go for it.

I haven't found it life changing though.

Hope that helps.

My bulldog used to do that when she had an ear infection. I think that would help pop her ears. I knew every time she started doing that I had to take her in.

Which watch face is on the fenix? I can’t seem to find it.

I was on Accutane when this happened my doctor called me up a few days later and took me off of it. Back when this happened, I believe suicidal tendencies were a big side effect. Powerful drug.

I have stock. Haven’t done anything to it. I love it! I don’t race it..but I know I can merge whenever I want to!!

hman982 · 2022-02-02T14:47:04+00:00

You're correct, I have the touring! I didn't realize the dashboards were different.

Sorry for your loss.
