DESCRIPTION
Some vehicles may exhibit a squeak noise coming from the front stabilizer (A) when driving on rough road surfaces or passing over speed bumps.

has been changed to eliminate the noise.
Customers having this concern should have their vehicle repaired using the following repair procedure.
REPAIR PROCEDURE
