I doubt that they will still honor the warranty after 12 years...
I've found out that weird noise complaint is one of the least favorite things for a car mechanic to diagnose. To save money, better find out where the noise coming from by yourself, or else they will throw spare parts at your car until it eventually fixed.
For starter, how is the nature of the noise? Rhythmic that increases in frequency when you drive faster? Noise gone when you hit the brakes? Don't trust where the noise come from when in the car, it can easily be very deceptive. Sometimes left noise can be heard as if it comes from right side and vice versa.
Noise when cornering usually can be two things: wheel bearings and driveshaft/CV axle. If only happen on uneven road, maybe try check the condition of your stabilizer link/sway bar links and bushings. See if your absorber is in good condition too.
I heard the knock sound on front RHS (or front area) when cornering through very uneven road / pot holes / speed bumps, which is the loudest since early years. Like you said, technician just simply changed right lower arm but it doesnt help much. So, I came to this and think that it is related to this design flaw?
I also hearing many sounds coming from all 4 wheels when passing repetitive uneven road. it sounds louder when reaching certain vibrate frequency / amplitude
Ya, I agree with you but I am not so experience in relating the sound to the parts. Still learning the parts.
I have asked car garage technician to drive once and he comments that it considerably still ok. I assume it is not critical yet.
Sounds subjective as I guess it is influenced by the sound proofing of the car. I think the door seal also getting poor.
Thank you for the relating info. Maybe one day change the links and arms by phase but end goal is fix what is broken.

I agree with steponlego. Furthermore they might not keep parts for our Persona anymore. You might want to locate the possible knocking piping, and use insulation foam + zip tie to balut the knocking part. Cheap fix but will take some time.
Anyway this is the best about our car. Relatively easy to settle DIY manner.
My personal knocking sound was actually the Silverstone tyre when car was new. Changed to other brand than no more rattling. If i were you I'll probably ask workshop to check suspension also, see got leaking absorber, spoiled mounting bearing or lower arm bush those.
For spark plug, i use Denso Iridium TT recommended by Zordaq. Already 80,000km. As i change it together with my last timing belt. Will be using back it. If you search those online shopping platform, goes by SKU number of IT20TT for our persona.
If when you cabut the ignition coil boot and they cracked, buy silicone boot from online shopping and use back the ignition pack. Cheap cheap good good.
I agree with you also. Thinking to DIY too to have fun but I need to learn where is the pipe.
*update: I found it from the V10 thread.
Thank you for the suggestion. Let me browse it through, just worry that there is counterfeit product.
