Bought this vehicle recently heard this issue and googled and found these videos and forums caused by a Bolt that is low tensile/loose/worn, see below. Sounds like my issue and would like to replace at least the bottom bolt or ask a mechanic to do so and provide the bolts. What is your view and experience on this issue? No OBD codes and this vehicle drives nice and seems reliable.

If it's just a bolt that needs to be tightened, then make sure it's just a bolt.
