Condition

Some owners may experience a creaking noise coming from the front suspension especially during cold weather.

Cause

Creaking noise is caused by friction created between the outer surface of the stabilizer bar and the inner surface of the bushing.

Correction

If normal service procedures do not correct this condition, replace the front stabilizer bar bushings with p/n 97063972 (base coupe) or p/n 97063973 (gsi coupe and hatchback). These new bushings contain a silicone lubricant for superior noise reduction.
