Rumbling Noises While Driving Over Bumps or On Rough Roads








If you receive customer reports in the above model vehicles of rumbling noises while driving over bumps or on rough roads, the cause may be that the rubber mount on the torque strut is cracked and losing fluid. To resolve, replace the bushing only (not the torque strut). Refer to WIS document AR33.15-P-0160P.
