Condition
Some customers may comment on a squeak, crunch, grunt or clunk noise coming from the front of the vehicle during suspension movement over bumps.
This condition is most noticeable after the vehicle soaks in temperatures below 0°C (32°F). After the vehicle warms up, the noise goes away.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the interface between the front stabilizer shaft and the front stabilizer shaft insulators (bushings).
Correction
Remove the left and right front stabilizer insulators (bushings). Refer to Stabilizer Shaft Insulator Replacement in SI. Wipe off the surface of the
stabilizer bar to remove any loose rubber or grease residue. Install the revised left and right stabilizer insulators (bushings). For installation instructions,
refer to Stabilizer Shaft Insulator Replacement in SI. Install the new service stabilizer insulators (bushings) so that the chamfer edge is facing toward the
outside of the vehicle. This will put the slits in the bushing facing opposite directions.
