Hello everyone! I own a 2017 Honda Civic SI that I bought brand new in October 2017. A little background on my suspension issue.....Last year in April 2019, I started hearing a clicking/creaking noise on the left and right side of the front of my car when turning or backing up.... My car at this time only had 30,556 miles on it......When I took my car back to Honda they replaced under the Honda warranty the upper left and right strut bearings and hardware....Then in June 2019, the clicking/creaking noise on the left and right side of the front of my car came back again.....My car at this time only had 32,147 miles on it.....So back to Honda I went and they replaced under Honda warranty the right front strut and hardware.......Then in July 2019, the clicking/creaking noise on the left and right side of the front of my car came back a 2nd time.....My car at this time only had 32,426 miles on it....So back to Honda I went and they replaced under Honda warranty the left front strut and hardware......

I thought that this issue was fixed and corrected......Fast Forward to 2020....

For the past few weeks, I am hearing the same clicking/creaking noise again from the front end on the left and right side....My car currently has 50,022 miles on it....I took my car back to Honda today (9/26/20) and they proceed to tell me that the upper left and right strut bearings are going bad again.....They advise me that the original repair back in April 2019 is no longer under warranty (12 months or 12,000 miles; whichever comes first) and now I have to pay for this repair out of pocket. This car has NOT been modified at all.....Everything is still stock.....Honda is quoting me $700 to replace the upper left and right strut bearings.....Why would the bearing be going bad again a year later???

My question is: How did the bearing and struts have an issue starting at 30,556 miles and come back a year later...... Is this a common thing for the Civic SI? Does anyone have any suggestion what the creaking is from other than the upper bearings or the struts? Please help! I don't want to get rid of this car and at the same time I don't want to keep fixing the same thing over and over on this car!!!
