All manufacturers are having problems hiring techs. All the kids want to be management.

If you like KYB, you will love Bilstein. Now if they had Koni for my ST....... FYI the High pressure gas shock helps tame the spring. It fools your butt into thinking you have a softer ride from "sport springs". The downside is, it is easy to die on a wash-board dirt road due to loss of control! It was a local trip for me to the KYB when I lived in Cali. I had all kinds of KYB stuff.

I have had mine (2022 ST) replaced already (AGM) in less than 1 year. From reading all over, it appears that there were a bunch of bad ones for that model. My date of production was 11/22 and replacement 8/23!

I assumed the OP does not have a lift so I was offering a simple DIY for a quick help. As you know, most people can't tell where most sounds originate (F/R L/R). On most client's claims of sound origins, I would Inspect the exact opposite corner first. In a higher percentage of times, they were wrong thus cutting my time and the $$$ they spent with me! (WIN WIN) With these cavernous insides of these Edges, put the seats down and boy do they get LOUD! For years, I did Rattles,Squeaks and Bitches with "Grandma's Grocery List" a mile long! I have ridden all over a car in search of a client's satisfaction of a noise elimination. From riding in the back seat ( aahhh heating and A/C in the right season), multiple trunk rides for several miles inside and outside, clinging for life in the hood was the most scary! But, I never tried holding on with a stethoscope!🤣

I'll have to disagree! This is why one keeps "Old Farts" around! Sometimes during transport on the trains along time ago, we learned wheel bearings can be pounded down and create a divot on the race where the roller pounded on it and 1 roller not round! You can't feel it but, you sure can hear it!

Have you done a factory rest yet ? Soft is Power and seek up buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds (>>I seek up button) Or, do a master reset from general settings of the radio menu.

How are the engine mounts? "there is a loud clunk when going from drive or park to reverse unless you completely come to a stop" From your video, you varied both speed and RPM simultaneously. It is tough to tell the culprit. Have ALL 4 wheel bearing been replaced? I suspect a bearing too but as you state which one! A remote mic coupled to your cellphone, secured close to each bearing would allow you to pin point the right spot for less than $50. GL

Sure sounds like good old fashion vapor lock. I also wonder if the fuel strainer, if it had one, was plugged up or restricted. With low flow, a vapor lock condition, it would take some time to purge the fuel system of vapor to start injecting liquid fuel.

Time for a bunch of you to look-up "TRAMLINING". Selling tires way back when, taught us all about that problem with the grooved freeways in S. Cali. Especially with the wrong sidewall configuration.

This exemplifies the "Waddington Effect". I bet you have to look this one up.......😁

Moral of the story often repeated, Never open the pano roof and never encounter a problem.

I remember some Mfg.s had an indicator to let one know when to service the filter.

Wanting to spend a few hundred dollars wisely? Drive through the poor section of your town and drop 30 $10 dollar bills out the window or, pick an Angel off the Christmas Tree @ the mall. Watch the video before you spend your hard earned $$$$!

It is bad rubber molding The crap just falls apart due to UV and heat. I know as I have an 08 Limited. At 1st it was an air leak I fixed with a length of vacuum line to hold the window in and stop the air leak. (Driver's side)

You have a couple of options. Buy the whole assembly springs and all. Then, it is a simple R&R job +alignment. Or, buy some better struts (Bilstein) and have a shop do the spring R&R. Then just bolt them in and do an alignment.
