Dash - Squeak/Squawk Noise on Turns
Number:
91-263-3
Section:
3
Date:
MARCH 1991
Corp. Bulletin No.: 133201
Subject:
NOISE FROM FRONT OF DASH WHEN TURNING
Model and Year:
1990-91 CAVALIER, CORSICA, BERETTA
Condition:
Customers may comment about a squawk/creak noise from the front of dash when turning. They may also comment about a slight
feeling of vague on-center steering and slow returnability.
Cause:
After a extended heat soak the grommet material starts to take a compression set. This set will lead to a rub condition between the gear
and the grommet during steering.
Correction:
As part of trouble shooting, refer to Dealer Service Bulletin No. 90-409-3 for VIN breakpoints regarding the steering gear to front of
dash clamp retaining nuts and inspect them.
If the retaining nuts are not loose, it may be necessary to replace only the steering gear mounting grommets.
If the retaining nuts are loose, it will be necessary to replace both the retaining nuts and steering gear mounting grommets.
