Control arm. That's where my money is at. I have a similar issue on my 08 and I've seen that my passenger side control arm where the big rubber bushing is, has the beginnings of a tear in it. At certain speeds on wide sweeping turns I can feel the vibration (bouncing) of the tire.

I have new FRPP control arms, just haven't gotten around to replacing them yet.

The year is irrelevant, have the dealer check the arms for cracks or worn bushings. Another way to check it is to go over a speed bump a little faster than you normally would so that the front end drops as you go off the backside of the bump. You'll probably hear a thunk/clunk/groan. That's the bushing.

I am experiencing this. Bushings all look good but I'll bring this to the attention of the service tech when I bring it back to the dealer next week.

Basically took the car into the dealer, said don't give it back until its fixed. Dropped the mic and walked out.

Two days later they call. Lower control arm bolt was (quote) "loose." Think they meant under torqued. Whatever. Problem solved.
