#09-03-08-008: Knock Clunk Or Click Noise From Front Suspension Over Small Bumps (Replace Front Lower Control And Caster Arms) -


Attention: This bulletin is intended to correct a condition for front end knock, clunk or clicking. Vehicles previously repaired as part of Campaign #09203A are to follow a different repair procedure as outlined under the Correction section below.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Condition
Some customers may comment on a clunk, knock or click noise from the front suspension over small bumps.

Cause
The rubber "boot" over the front end lower control arm ball joint may have become dislodged or torn compromising the seal. Moisture inside the ball joint seal may cause corrosion, shortening the service life of the component.

Correction
Notice: Before replacing any components under the terms of this bulletin, you must confirm the past service history of the vehicle. Please use GMVIS to confirm if the vehicle was previously repaired under Customer Satisfaction Campaign #09203A. If the vehicle was repaired under this service action, ONLY replace the front control arm found to be the source of the noise and claim the applicable Labor Operation for that part as outlined in SI and the labor time guide.

Vehicles not identified in Customer Satisfaction Campaign #09203A (or not repaired during its duration) and found to have one or more of the rubber boots improperly sealing should have all four front control arms replaced.

Not specifically recall as far as I'm aware - but it IS a well known fault with a series of techline fixes.

I'am not sure if anyone has heard about a faulty belt which caused some noise between the 2000-3000 rev mark ,I heard it was replaced with a thinner belt.

That's one of the issues I had. There's a techline for it. Didn't work completely though - I'd say it's 80% better - for now at least

Just a quick follow up, also, on the tailgate recall for the utes - mine was done a couple of weeks back.

There's no visible difference (aside form the fact the parts are shiny! lol) and there's no change to the release action - just feels like there is less flex in the mechanism.

with the tailgate recall the affected latches are cast alloy being replaced with steel ones

Series two sportwagon

Well today my Holden dealer rang me and told me there is a safety recall on the series two sportwagon, due to some pin in the rear seat fold downs. And due to Christmas they are ringing all the owners instead of mailing.

I went straight down there, 15min job no biggie, just a heads up

there is no latch recall visable to the customer!!the latch now closes fully instead of stayin open 2-3mm causing it to open under extreme load....
the wagon seat prob was a very limited case about 1in 1000 only when the seat carpet got caught!!

I've got to get this done, but the dealers wont give you a free loan car for the day. I'm not paying for a loan car when its they're fault and it take a day to fix!
So because I need my car for work Its going to cost me a days pay, or $50 for a loan car. So I'm putting it off for now until I can figure out another option.
