Condition

Some customers may comment on a squeak/creak/pop type noise coming from the front of the vehicle. This noise will most likely occur during low speed turning after a small to medium suspension travel.

Cause

The cause of this condition may be due to the front strut dust boot rubbing against the vertical face of the retaining cup.

Correction

A new front strut upper mount has been developed to correct this condition. Replace the right and left side front strut upper mounts following the published SI replacement procedure.
