- Summary
- Some vehicles may exhibit a knocking / squeaking noise from the front strut bearing (a) when driving on rough roads and/or when turning the steering wheel while the vehicle is stopped. The noise may be due to upper front strut bearing damage or it may be due to stick/slip between the front strut bearing and coil spring. To eliminate the noise, the following mass-production changes have been made: 1. The material and production method of the front strut bearing has been changed. 2. A protector has been installed onto the coil spring. Note: the piston rod nut (b) requires replacement when the front strut bearing is replaced.
