Squeaks & Rattles - Noise from Bulkhead Brake Line - Install Isolating Pads & Clip
ISSUE:
Some 1995 MY Sedan Range vehicles, within the above VIN range, may experience a noise that the customer reports as coming from the right side of the fascia. The source of the noise may actually be in the engine compartment and be caused by contact between a brake line and the bulkhead or between two adjacent brake lines.
Starting with VIN 736561, isolating foam pads were introduced in production.
ACTION:
If a customer reports a noise from the right side fascia on a 1995 MY Sedan Range vehicle within the above VIN range, check if the noise described by the customer can be reproduced by gently striking the ABS hydraulic unit with the hand as shown in illustration 1.
After verifying the actual source of a customer complaint of fascia noise, proceed as follows:
APPLYING ISOLATING PADS AND CLIP TO BRAKE LINES
1. Clean the surface of the bulkhead and apply two closed cell foam pads (part no. HNA 1210BA) to the locations shown in illustration 1, to prevent direct contact between the pipes and the bulkhead.
2. Install a clip (part no. KDP 105060) on the brake lines in the position shown in illustration 2, with the open smaller diameter on the lower line and the flap over the upper line. Press the flap firmly to snap it shut around the upper brake line.
