Default Anyone having any suspension problems?

My crz now has about 3k miles on it and I have noticed an loud-ish crack out of the front drivers side only in the morning when I am reversing. My old civic used to make odd noises when the suspension was cold in the morning, but I was hoping for better with the CRZ. I am not worried about it and will take it into the dealer the next time I have a day off work. Just wondering if any other owners have had anything similar?

Are all the top hat nuts tight? You know, the nuts/bolts under the hood on top of the strut mount?

the car wasnt wet when you put it away was it? I know with my elise if I put the parking brake on with it wet it will bind and when I first go to move the car the next time, and you hear a loud clunk as it releases.....

It isn't brake noise. Definitely suspension. The only time it happens is when I reverse and then turn the wheel to the left. And only in the morning when it is cold.
