ISSUE:
A "clunking/rattling" noise may be heard from the rear of the vehicle when going over bumps. This may be caused by a bushing falling out of the rear
sway bar link.
ACTION:
Replace the sway bar ink and install a washer onto the sway bar link. The washer should reduce the possibility of the bushing coming off of the sway bar
link. Refer to the following Service Procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE

Torque the bolt to 103 N.m (76 lb-ft).
