SOURCE: KIA Technician Times Volume 8 Issue 1, 2005TITLE: Front Strut Tower Collar Replacement
APPLIES TO: Amanti
SERVICE TIP:
It has been brought to the attention of KMA that previous orders for the updated parts (upper strut bushing & strut collar) for the lumber type noise coming from the strut tower the strut collar may have resulted in delivery of the incorrect collar. The collar you received may have been the original gold collar which is 3mm shorter in length (42mm). The correct updated collar is a dark olive green color and 45mm long. If you have performed this repair before 1/27/05 and it did not correct the suspension noise from the front strut area, double check the P/N and color of the strut collar that was installed. The correct P/N is 55337 3F800. There also is a Pitstop article indicating the difference between the updated strut bushing and the collar.bushing and the collar.
