SUBJECT:
CLICKING NOISE FROM FRONT DRIVESHAFT
This TSB superceded TSB-10-26-001, issued May, 2010, to revise applicable parts numbers, repair instructions and warranty information. This is a
complete rewrite and individual changes are not indicated.
PURPOSE
Customers of some affected vehicles may notice a clicking noise from the vehicle's front while driving at slow speeds especially when turning. It is
caused when grease in the constant velocity joints thickens during cold ambient temperatures (below freezing). The noise becomes more noticeable as
temperatures fall. The noise fades as component temperature increases while driving or ambient temperatures increase above freezing. There is no
damage caused to CV joints due to the cold grease.
This TSB provides instructions to correct this condition using parts described in the Parts Information section of this TSB.
When using this TSB, repairs are to be made to both sides of the vehicle.
Affected Vehicles:
2007 & later Outlander
2008 & later Lancer (except RALLIART)
2009 & later Lancer Sportback (except RALLIART)
