*NOTE! THIS DOCUMENT SUPERSEDES THE PREVIOUS RETAILER TECHNICAL JOURNAL 17644 DATED 08-22-2012.
*There is a new repair method for this concern. Replacement of the subframe bushings is no longer necessary.
Description
A squeaking noise could be heard from the front suspension, especially when turning or driving over a speed bump.
The noise usually comes from the rear bushings in the front subframe due to axial travel resulting in a rubbing or squeaking noise between the reinforcement plate and the bushings’ front and rear axial movement limiters.
Once the rubber material on the bushing is worn out, the underneath plastic material may cause a soft knocking noise instead. The contact points are illustrated in the attached pictures: TJ 17644 -1.jpg; TJ 17644 -2.jpg
