Well just took my 21 Gladiator Mojave with 10900 to the dealer today for the oil change, tire rotation and a rattling sound ive had for about a week. Come to find out, the passenger side rear Fox suspension needs replaced. Costs for parts per Jeep - $2000, not including labor. Luckily covered under warranty but WTH! This is my 2nd new Jeep in a year with parts needing replaced before the 10k mark. The other was my 4xe hybrid i traded in due to electrical issues. Diehard Jeep head here, but my patience is wearing thin. What is up with Quality control @ Jeep?!?

Well crap. My passenger side has been creaking like hell. Can you describe it?
To me it sounded like a creaking/knocking noise on the front end. Dealership described it as "slushing". First took notice of it backing out of my driveway. Seems to be louder and more frequent when turning, but still get a frequent noise when driving on highway and straight back roads. Dealership actually had a tech drive it around while another walked outside of it to figure out exactly where it was coming from. They said they temporarily attempted to quiet the noise, but if it starts getting loud again before parts are in, to bring it back in due to safety concerns.

Mines real odd. I thought I ran over a trash can it sounded so bad once. Other times it's just rattling.
Finally got this video to attach, here is mine.
Almost guarantee it’s a loose sway bar link. Otherwise a looses control arm
