My guess is either your end links are starting to go bad or you have the axle click issue which your dealer can take care of for you. Either way its not serious but the noise will increase over time. Is the noise only heard when you stop and go or over bumps and turns. Bumps and turns = end links (cheap fix, about 30-40 per side + install) Stop and go = axle click (TSB report out on this, the dealer will know what to do) Cost about $130-160 total. I have had both these issues fixed before no problem and they have not come back. Good luck!

Its your end links then. They attach to the end of each rear sway bar. Cost about $30 a piece from the dealer and are super simple to install. Two bolts all done!
