- Description
Noise from Rear Suspension Over Rough Roads
Some Sportage vehicles may produce a light popping or thumping noise from the rear while driving over rough roads or broken pavement. This concern
may also be more noticeable in colder temperatures. If you encounter this concern, replace the rear strut (shock) insulator on the affected side with
improved part number as shown below. Improved parts have been modified with a softer rubber compound which isolates shock and noise produced by
the strut during normal movement. This improved rubber compound will also maintain its insulating properties better in colder temperature. Replace the
insulator and then test drive to verify the repair.
PRODUCTION DATE RANGE
All 2008-2009 Sportage vehicles produced up to 07/20/2008
