Rivian Troubles: Clicking noise at axle, replaced half shafts and hubs, noise is back

I have previously used the streaming capability back when it first came out as well as the hotspot since before Connect+ was a thing. I am trying to get the streaming working again but it seems to have been hidden fully behind the paywall. (Not looking to argue the merits of that system here) I recall after Connect+ came out being able to still use the Hotspot while tethering with my phone, and losing it isn't a big deal other than needing to update my wife's wifi, but I think I remember needing to be on the Hotspot to do casting. My question is, did Rivian remove both of these features to fully behind the connect+ paywall? I thought that if you used phone tethering or if you were connected to WIFI you could use most all of the usual streaming like features of the Rivian? If anyone can recommend how to stream while using tethering I'm sure myself and others without Connect+ would appreciate it.

I had that bad/common clicking noise at my front axles back in Sept 2024 when accelerating/decelerating from a stop. The SC replaced both half shafts and hubs in the front and the issue went away.

Now, 6 months later it is happening again. I’ve got another SC appointment in a month, any tips or things I should mention the SC do to resolve this once and for all? I read somewhere that I would need to replace the half shafts again as they now have a while new assembly. Sometimes I just play some music and roll the windows up so the noise doesn't bother me that much.

Any help here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
