Control arms have started leaking where the front ball joints are and the warranty department is declining to cover any of the costs. They have been leaking since March 2020, right before my warranty expired. The dealership claimed to not have found anything wrong but that was not the case. My personal mechanic found they were leaking the week before my warranty expired and suggested I go to the dealer. The car makes a clunking noise going over speed bumps and dips. My car is only at 42K miles.

During initial movement of vehicle after starting, suspension makes squeaking noise, specially when wheels are turned completely left or right. And you can hear the rubbing squeaky noise more when going on bump with wheels turn. Noise goes away after driving and warmed up. More than likely upper suspension strut bearing going bad prematurely. This causes wheel alignment problems.
