A snapping noise may occur on some 1984 2000 Sunbirds during steering or wheel jounce motions, especially during cold weather..
1-SHIELD OPENING (TO BE ENLARGED BY APPROXIMATELY 15 mm)
This condition may be caused by contact between the front wheelhouse splash shield and the steering tie rod, and can be corrected by enlarging the
splash shield opening by approximately 15 mm (9/16 in.) around its entire circumference, using a knife or shears.
