it could be number of things and you could be fixing a wrong one.

You could have worn out struts. Do a little research.

struts, shocks etc are all fine I already checked them and had my mechanic look at them as well.

you actually pulled them out and compressed them to see if the compression and retraction are smooth and even?


if you don't see any signs of them leaking it does not mean that they are good.

usually when your tire wear does not say camber or toe it's shocks that need to be replaced.

It looks like you got 07 coupe so I don't think that it's the shocks, usually OEM shocks with OEM springs and other OEM suspension components should last 100k or so.

Im not even sure it is something wrong with the camber or toe....to be honest I looked at and felt my tires yesterday and see no signs of cupping/scalloping. It might just be the tires are insanely loud cause they are crappy Nankang's but Im not totally sure. Thanks for the help. I guess Im gonna have the dealer take a look and go from there.

tires also may get louder towards the end of their life.

If you dont see anything abnormal about tire wear and you know what you're looking for/at, I would have to think it's cheap loud tires.
