G5 L4-2.2L (2007)
Replace the front stabilizer shaft insulators (bushings), if necessary, using the following procedure.
1. Verify the customer comment. Use Chassis Ear (SA9217NE or J39570) or a similar tool to determine the source of the noise. Refer to Noise
Diagnosis - Front Suspension in SI.
2. If the noise is coming from either the front stabilizer shaft insulators (bushings) or the clamps:
Important
Check the Service Parts Identification label in the rear compartment (trunk) to determine the vehicle's suspension system type, then
obtain the correct insulators (bushings) corresponding to that suspension system type.
-
On vehicles built after VIN breakpoint 4Z125195, replace both front stabilizer shaft insulators (bushings). Refer to the Stabilizer Shaft
Insulator Replacement procedure in SI.
-
On vehicles built up to and including VIN 4Z125195, replace the front stabilizer shaft insulators (bushings) and clamps. Refer to the
Stabilizer Shaft Insulator Replacement procedure in SI.
3. Verify the repair by repeating Step 1.
Parts Information #7 (Saturn ION Only)
Cause #7 (Cobalt, G5, HHR)
This condition may be caused by the interface between the front stabilizer shaft and the front stabilizer shaft insulators (bushings).
