Pete, Got, most of the repair on the front-end noise fixed. They didn't have one of the parts when I took the car in but didn't tell me that until after I picked it up. It seems that most of the problem is gone, but I still hear some noice though it is not as pronounced. Maybe after I take the car back for the additional sleeve the problem will be solved. I think the main issue over noise in this car it that is it just so quiet inside and 'any' kind of car noises really stand out!
