Idle smooth, mileage good, burns no oil as far as I can tell (test ongoing). Driving one side on bump only does not squeak, has to be bump even on both sides. Odd little "chirp". Would really like to find it. Main problem right now is pinging kind of sound under even moderate load (gets really loud under more load). Local dealer says to switch to 87 octane. Haven't tried this yet since my tank still full of premium.

In terms of the squeak, if I think about what is involved only when a bump is even on both sides I think sway bar bushings. But could also be something not even related to the suspension I suppose.
