2000 Right Front strut noises

Has anyone repaired they're right front strut that exhibits "noises"? If so, did you do it under the warrantly?
I'm planning to take mine to the dealership when 30K hits.

yea, Kev posted it a couple days ago. I printed it out and plan to take it with the car when I go to the dealership. btw, what kind of noises do u hear? I hear this low humming noise as i turn the wheel. Pretty obvious on some slow turns.

Had this for a long time on my car and it drove me nutts. The monkeys at the local dealer kept saying "....thats the normal sound the suspension makes." I don't hear it anymore, 17k later.....but that maybe due to the screwdriver I shoved in my ear as I squeaked out the dealers lot....again. <Sqqishhhh-Sqqishhh>
