I have a 2004 9-3 Aero (4k m) and it has an odd thunking/knocking noise coming from what I believe must be the front right strut. I already brought the car in to the dealer once and they said they didn't see a problem. Admittedly, the noise does seem to be intermittent and more apparent when I first drive the car cold in the morning. It's also odd b/c the noise even comes when driving on perfectly flat pavement. I was driving today with a friend and, unprovoked, he asked me to turn the radio down. I obliged. He cocked his head as if aiming his ear (to the right-front wheel) and said he heard a knocking sound, _the_ knocking sound. Phew...at least I'm corroborated! I'm not sure if it's a temperature sensitive issue, because it seems to go away or at least minimize during driving later in the day. Or maybe this is just a red herring??? In any event, I've scheduled another appointment with the dealer and they agreed to have a tech drive it with me. Of course, it probably won't happen on the drive!!! Has anyone else noticed this sort of a problem? - tex
