Well
I just paid $1500 in the end to have both cam phasers replaced
engine idles MUCH quiter now
HOWEVER, I still have an exhaust leak
Stratus. if you are under warranty, deffinetly bring it in to document.
if not, and the sound is quite loud, determine if it is an exhaust manifold gasket. Mine is. and others have had the same issue
I an not too happy that I spent the big bucks on the cam phaser fix when all along the loud noise was the manifold gasket.

They finally figured it out, after changing out the exhaust header ($1700 job under warranty)
The 4WD front right wheel hub was engaging on/off at certain rpms and only under load.
Fixed now, but I had to complain to the dealership director about my 4 visits to the service before he got involved and they figured it out.
