ISSUE
Some 2001 Cougars may exhibit a "knocking" noise in the rear of the vehicle while going over bumps. This may be caused by an interference between
the rear coil springs and the strut tower.
ACTION
Replace both rear coil springs with revised Spring (158Z-5560-BA) as instructed in the 2001 Cougar Workshop Manual, Section 204-02.
