Manual Description
This information can be used to duplicate the same conditions when you confirm the repair. Drive the vehicle and attempt to duplicate the conditions the customer states exist when the noise occurs. If it is difficult to duplicate the noise, drive the vehicle slowly on an undulating or rough road to stress the vehicle body.
Narrow down the noise to a more specific area and identify the cause of the noise by: removing the components in the area that you suspect the noise is coming from. Do not tap or push/pull the component with excessive force, otherwise the noise will be eliminated only temporarily. If the cause is insufficient clearance between components: – separate components by repositioning or loosening and retightening the component, if possible.
The following materials not found in the kit can also be used to repair squeaks and rattles. Operate the vehicle under the same conditions as when the noise originally occurred. If you saturate the area with silicone, you will L not be able to recheck the repair.
