They will find enough wrong with it...we dont need to add to it!
If you are mechanically inclined we could take you pretty much step by step on almost if not all that jazz...any particular reason youre going to the dealer? Warranty work? Special service deal when you bought it?

You can use PB blaster or wd40 to help find the crunching sound. Most likely it will be your front sway bar bushings or your front leaf spring isolators. You can spray some oil on the isolators, than push down on your bumper and listen for the sound. If it's sill there, spray some on your sway bar bushings to see if that quites it down. Once you figure out which one it is, you'll know what needs to be replaced.

Definitely do the window motor yourself. Did that 3 days ago. Remove door panel, take speaker out, upplug old motor, 3 bolts, and reverse procedure! Make sure you lube the tracks up before you give up on the motor....

sounds like the same problem I have. I got a set of shackles on EBAY for $55.00 and shipping, I'm hoping it will fix the problem.

Remind me to read the sig before I post. Never mind, probably a different problem.
