Grinding / creaking noise from front passenger side
I followed the advise from Acurazine forums and got the O-rings replaced on the front passenger side, but I still hear this noise. It happens in cooler weather (50 F or lower). I can hear the noise when braking too.

My dealer checked for problems several times but says everything looks good. I showed him this video, without any luck.
Any thoughts?

from the sound of it I wonder if it could be a failing axle/CV joint.
Sometimes it can occur when turning, but if the axle is worn and bad enough it can just grind and eventually break during driving.
listening to it again, it sounds a lot like my bad passenger axle, but much more rapid clicking since you're at speed it seems. Mine happened in a sharp right turn going slow.

darn, no editing but it was more of a low, pop-pop-pop-pop as I turned. Almost sounded like a creaking ship hull.
(my failed attempt at onomatopoeia)
a new axle fixed 'er right up. now it's deathly silent and i love it.
