So if they smear some silicone grease on the boot it should get quite at least for time being?
Technically, yes, the front C/V boots rubs against itself during full turns when the accordion style rubber bellow is stretched on one side and pressed together on the other side during the turn.
On old cars with hardened rubber boots, you can see a flat spot all around where the rubber has rubbed flat against itself.
If for any reason they have used a different rubber compound in these new 9-5 that don't like to be close to itself, maybe it will make noise?
