Suspension - Rattle/Popping Noise From Front
Ref.: SUSPENSION
No.: SUOO7-96
Date: DECEMBER 27, 1996
Model: CAM, AVL
Title: RATTLE/POPPING SUSPENSION NOISE
On some vehicles, rattling or popping noises can be heard coming from the front suspension at low mileage. In most cases these noises have been traced
to the upper strut cushion attachment to the strut tower. The upper surface of the tower is covered with a seam sealer prior to painting which becomes
compressed when the upper strut mounting nuts are torqued. This causes the upper strut mounting nuts to be improperly torqued.
To address individual customer complaints of the condition described, please utilize the following repair procedure.
REPAIR PROCEDURES:
If rattling or popping noises can be heard, remove the upper strut mounting nuts one at a time, remove any built up sealer and retorque the nuts.
