Recalls

[bharper]

Does anyone know about a recall for anything capable of making a klunking noise in the rear? Or does anyone know what it is? The sound is driving me nuts!

I've never heard of this clunking before. Could you give me a more detailed explanation of what is sounds like. I wonder if anybody else in the past has had this problem? If only there was a way to find out......

There is no recall but there is a TSB for this on all MP3's, that has to deal with the bushings on the rear sway bar. I had it done 6 months ago at the dealer, should be free. Make sure they grease the new bushings well, I had to go back in and remove and regrease them after 3 months, deveoped some really bad sweaks that replaced the klunk!

TSB? sorry but wats that? they will still fix it even after warrenty is over?

Technical Service Bulletin(TSB) which I think you can look up on the NHTSA website(http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/http://www.ntsb.gov/) for the 01 MP3s.

Mine was under warranty when they fixed it, but I think it should be free, you can always ask. I think the difference between a TSB and a recall is that TSB related items are determined to be non-threating to the car, i.e. the klunk is annoying but the sway bar is held in place OK. Plus dealers aren't obliged to inform you of the TSB, but if you ask about it they have to take a look(I think). Maybe depends on the quality of the dealer as well how upfront they are.

TSB work won't be performed for free if your warranty is expired. Recalls are a different story.

I know how you feel (dark) ! The squeak has been driving me nuts! Every F**kin crack in the road. I had to up grade the stereo. I have ehbach springs in, and shortly after that it started. I kept trying to tighten the top nut on the strut, I even put a washer under the nut. Nothing works, I just have a squeak not a klunk. Do you know what they did?
