Some customers may comment on a squeak/squawk noise from the front suspension while driving over small bumps.
This condition may be caused by the contacted surfaces of the insulator bushings squeaking against the stabilizer bar and/or clamp in cold weather.
On FE2 suspension vehicles, replace the original insulator bushings with same part number (P/N 15887219) and install revised replacement clamps, P/N 15784871. Refer to Stabilizer Shaft Insulator Replacement in SI.
Replace the insulator bushings with revised bushings, P/N 25789241. At this time, also replace the insulator clamps with P/N 15784871. Refer to Stabilizer Shaft Insulator Replacement in SI.
