Loud cracking noise came from near the passenger door hinge of my 2013 Lexus CT200h. I had mechanics at a dealership check it out, but they couldn't find any problem.
The noise later became louder. I took a closer look and found that the nuts on the control arm were either loose or missing. I went to a hardware store and bought an M6x1mm lock nut ($0.45) to replace the missing nut. To improve reliability, I also applied some Threadlocker BLUE Gel ($9.99). I repeated this process on the driver's side as well.
The design of the original flange nut uses a smooth, flat bottom and lacks a nylon liner for additional friction. This isn't ideal. The new flange nut has a grooved bottom for better grip, and the Threadlocker should function well even without a nylon liner.
