Any common suspension problems?
I have a vibration in my front right wheel. I can feel it in the pedal and steering wheel. It's very slight but very annoying. I remembering hearing about bushing problems? Any truth to that ?

my front left tire randomly was squealing like a pig when i drove about 30 - 40 kmh...
dunno if you hear something rubbing or not.
im actually taking it in today for them to take a look at it... and the slow reverse issue as well...
that's prob your best bet too.

when i was making a left turn, FULL LOCK (steering wheel turned all the way)
I would hear some kind of noise in the rear
took it to the dealer and they replaced something near the rear brakes, and noise is gone

I had to replace one of my shocks at 15k km. I'm also starting to hear my bushings up front start to go. But aside from that, suspension still feels pretty good. Gets twitchy at times when i drive over uneven roads but I think that's more of a cause from my tires tram-lining.
