DETAILED TEST A : FRONT SUSPENSION NOISE CONDITIONS DETAILS/RESULTS/ACTIONS
ROAD TEST THE VEHICLE
a.Test drive the vehicle.
b. During the road test, drive the vehicle over a rough road. Determine
from which area/component the noise is originating.
● Is there a squeak, creak or rattle noise ?
→ YES
Go to
→ NO
The suspension system is OK. Conduct a diagnosis on other suspect
systems.
INSPECT THE STEERING SYSTEM a.Check the steering system for wear or damage.
Perform a steering linkage test.
Inspect the tire wear pattern.
● Are the steering components worn or damaged ?
→ YES
Repair the steering system. Install new components as necessary. Test
the system for normal operation.
→ NO
Go to
FRONT SHOCK ABSORBER/STRUT CHECK a.Check the front shock absorbers/strut mounts for loose bolts or nuts.
b. Check the front shock absorbers/struts for damage. Perform a shock
absorber check.
● Are the front shock absorbers/struts loose or damaged ?
→ YES
Tighten to specifications if loose.
Install new front shock absorbers/struts if damaged. Test the system for
normal operation.
→ NO
Go to
CHECK THE FRONT SPRINGS Check the front spring and front spring mounts/brackets for wear or
damage
