Lift Check

Lift Check

1. Noise: Noise can be caused by loose suspension or strut attachments. Verify that all attachments for the suspension components are securely fastened. If struts have a damaged integral lower mounting bushing, install new units. Check the front and rear struts for external damage.
2. Bottom/Hopping: Check condition of the rubber suspension travel stops (front strut jounce bumper). Install new parts if worn or missing. Examine for evidence of previous overload which may have damaged components.
3. Only install one new strut in place of the worn or damaged component.
