< SYMPTOM DIAGNOSIS >
SQUEAK AND RATTLE TROUBLE DIAGNOSES
Most of these incidents can be repaired by adjusting, securing or insulating the item(s) or component(s) caus-
ing the noise.
SUNROOF/HEADLINING
Noises in the sunroof/headlining area c an often be traced to one of the following:
1. Sunroof lid, rail, linkage or seals making a rattle or light knocking noise
2. Sun visor shaft shaking in the holder
3. Front or rear windshield touching headlining and squeaking
Again, pressing on the components to stop the noise while duplicating the conditions can isolate most of these
incidents. Repairs usually consist of insulating with felt cloth tape.
OVERHEAD CONSOLE (FRONT AND REAR)
Overhead console noises are often caused by the c onsole panel clips not being engaged correctly. Most of
these incidents are repaired by pushing up on the c onsole at the clip locations until the clips engage.
In addition look for:
1. Loose harness or harness connectors.
2. Front console map/reading lamp lens loose.
3. Loose screws at console attachment points.
SEATS
When isolating seat noise it's important to note the pos ition the seat is in and the load placed on the seat when
the noise is present. These conditions should be dupl icated when verifying and isolating the cause of the
noise.
Cause of seat noise include:
1. Headrest rods and holder
2. A squeak between the seat pad cushion and frame
3. The rear seatback lock and bracket
These noises can be isolated by moving or pressing on the suspected components while duplicating the con-
ditions under which the noise occurs. Most of thes e incidents can be repaired by repositioning the component
or applying urethane tape to the contact area.
UNDERHOOD
Some interior noise may be caused by components under the hood or on the engine wall. The noise is then
transmitted into the passenger compartment.
Causes of transmitted underhood noise include:
1. Any component installed to the engine wall
2. Components that pass through the engine wall
3. Engine wall mounts and connectors
4. Loose radiator installation pins
5. Hood bumpers out of adjustment
6. Hood striker out of adjustment
These noises can be difficult to isolate since they cannot be reached from the interior of the vehicle. The best
method is to secure, move or insulate one component at a time and test drive the vehicle. Also, engine rpm or
load can be changed to isolate the noise. Repairs can usually be made by moving, adjusting, securing, or
insulating the component causing the noise.

MOONROOF UNIT ASSEMBLY
d. Tighten glass lid bolts.NOTE:
First tighten left front bolt, then right rear bolt on glass lid to prevent uneven torque while tightening
remaining bolts.
e. After any adjustment, check moonroof operation and glass lid alignment.

CAUTION:
• After installing either moonro of unit assembly or glass lid, check gap/height adjustments and opera-
tion to make sure there is no malfunction.
• Always work with a helper.
• Handle glass lid with care to prevent damage.
• When taking moonroof unit assembly out, use shop cloths to protect the headlining, seats and trim
from damage.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
REAR SUSPENSION ASSEMBLY
On-vehicle ServiceINFOID:0000000009464454
• Check the suspension parts for excessive play, cracks, wear or damage. Shake each rear wheel to check for
excessive play.
• Retighten all nuts and bolts to the specified torque.
• Check the shock absorber for oil leakage or other damage.
• Check the wheelarch height. Refer to RSU-17, "Wheelarch Height
(Unladen*1)".
InspectionINFOID:0000000009464455
SHOCK ABSORBER ASSEMBLY
• Check for smooth operation through a full stroke for both compression and extension.
• Check for oil leakage on the welded or gland packing portions.
• Check the shock absorber piston r od for cracks, deformation, or other damage and replace if necessary.
SUSPENSION ARMS
• Check the suspension arm for damage, cracks, deformation and replace if necessary.
• Check the rubber bushings for damage, cracks and defo rmation. Replace suspension arm if necessary.
• After installing the radius rod, check the wheel alignment and adjust if necessary. Refer to RSU-17, "Wheel
Alignment (Unladen*)".
FRONT LOWER LINK
• Check the front lower link for any deformation, cracks, or damage and replace if necessary.
UPPER AND LOWER RUBBER SEATS
• Check the upper and lower rubber seats for deterioration, or cracks and replace if necessary.
REAR LOWER LINK AND COIL SPRING
• Check the rear lower link and coil spring for any def ormation, cracks, or other damage and replace if neces-
sary.
STABILIZER BAR
• Check the stabilizer bar and clamps for any deformation, cracks, or damage and replace if necessary.
• Check the rubber bushings for deterioration, or cracks and replace if necessary.
Inspection and AdjustmentINFOID:0000000009464456
Before checking the rear wheel ali gnment, make a preliminary inspection.
• Measure the wheel alignment under unladen conditions. NOTE:
Unladen conditions mean that fuel, engine coolant, and l ubricants are full. That the spare tire, jack, hand
tools, and mats are in their designated positions.
PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
• Check the tires for wear and for improper inflation.
• Check the wheels for deformation, cracks, and ot her damage. Remove the wheel and check the wheel
runout. Refer to WT-53, "Inspection"
.
• Check the rear wheel bearings for looseness.
• Check the rear suspension for looseness.
• Check that the rear shock absorbers work properly.
