Okay so I first started out owning a 2016 Corolla LE that I noticed would squeak going over uneven pavement. However when you are driving normally you normally don't hear it. I then decided I wanted to trade that car in on a 2017 Corolla SE and noticed fairly quickly that this one also squeaked over uneven pavement. I have an extended warranty that covers suspension parts so I am going to take this in and see what the issue is. Will update with what they replace and how much.
I had both lower control arms replaced (two separate times) to repair a front end creaking noise. The noise can be replicated when going over bumps when turning or when going down a hill with a speed bump. I have Toyotacare so it was covered. Definitely not expecting to replace both with less than 50k miles.
just rattle in front suspension. I think upper strut mounts are bad. I've heard that noise from day one of usage, still the same over 20k miles and 2.5 years.
Clunking noise whilst rolling over bumps, up and down driveways, during camber changes, etc. 7 visits to two different dealers have not been able to diagnose the problem, therefore the problem doesnt exist in their eyes. Pretty obnoxious. Brought it to a private mechanic who told me the axle "cup" was messed up and that they should replace the entire axle under warranty. Unsurprisingly Toyota disagreed and nothing has been done about it. I'm not sure if its a safety issue, but its a worrisome noise, and its been going on since the car had 14,000 miles on it. Toyota has been a nightmare to deal with.
I got a Corolla 2016, brand new, and immediately got squeaky noises over small bumps at low speed. A year later I changed it to a 2017, hoping that I was going to get rid of the squeaky problems…nope! Same thing with the 2017, although it took a bit longer to start. Now almost 3 years later the issues persist, the problems seems to be a design flaw or something.

This seems to be a "thing" with model years 2014-19 as this issue has happened on several Corollas that I have been around. It took the dealer 2 trys to fix the issue. On my paperwork from the dealer, after the second trip, the paperwork states "Lubricated control arm bushings per Toyota". So far, this seems to have solved the issue.
