Default crunching noise from suspension

lately when ive been entering my driveway or leaving my driveway (it has a sharp incline) i go up or down very slowly.. or when im leaving parking lots that have inclines, my front left suspension makes a crunching sound.. its totally quiet when im at cruising speeds i only hear it going slowly or whenever my suspension is really flexing.. any idea what this is before i take it to the dealership. i recently had the new strut mount part put in that fixed the front end thunking..

Try greasing your LCA's. I had the same sound & that took care of it, make sure you use the synthetic grease that BMR recomends.

I had something like that happen and it was my sway bar. It had loosened up over time and it needed a few twists on each connector. I put some lok tite on it lastime and it's been quiet since. You can do it with the tires on. 8mm wrench for the bolt and,,,I don't know the other size. Take a look and see. You need one wrench on the bolt and the other on the nut.

swaybar link pins are notorious for that. see it alot in my shop. take them off and drive around. if the sound is gone get new link pins and bushings.
