Tie rod and axle had play in them. Mechanic replaced some bushings and added a shim? There is a TSB out for this but I do not know what the number is. 
32000 mi Noise in front suspension due to loose subframe bolt 
28000 mi Had a loud popping noise in the front end when going over bumps. Dealer said it was the transmission mount. That didn't fix the issue so they went over the front suspension and tightened everything up and it fixed the issue. They had no clue what specific part was loose.
