DESCRIPTION:
There may be a knocking noise from the rear spring aid (bump stop rubber) if the spring aid is loose in the upper spring seat installation.
PRODUCT MODIFICATION
The spring aids are secured in the vehicles after the chassis breakpoints in the RTJ header.
SERVICE:
Verify that the noise is coming from the rear spring aid by wiggling the rear spring aid. See Photo 1 in the attachment. If the spring aid is OK, then continue fault tracing the vehicle for other possible causes.
If the spring aid is loose.
Remove the spring aid from the spring seat and install one piece of rubber material in the bottom of each spring seat. Refer to Photo 2. Reinstall the spring aid and check that it is sitting tight in the spring seat.
