After sitting for a period of time, such as over night, I get what I would discribe as a twaining sound in the front end. It sounds like a large coil spring has been tightly wound and released and appears to be in the left front. When my foot is on the break, I can feel a viberation in the pedal.

The left front strut bearing has been replaced with no effect.
