'96 INTREPID FRONT END NOISE, HELP PEASE.
Can anyone shed some light on the strange noise I have coming from the front
end driver side "occassionally" on my Intrepid. It's normally first thing in the morning , particularly when cold as I move the steering wheel back and forth. After a few minutes on the road it dissapears. It sounds like a tight bushing I'd guess, but I have no real basis for that assumption, any help would be gratefully appreciated, thanks. Paul. |

More then likey it is the rack mount bushings worn, what you may be hearing
is the rack sliding back and fourth as you turn the wheel, This happens especially when it is cold. Also check the inner tie rod bushings for wear.

Early LH vehicles would make a REALLY loud racket on very cold mornings, and IIRC there was a TSB to replace the bushings with updated ones. I would have thought a '96 would be after the update, though, so maybe its just worn out bushings. |
