SEATS

When isolating seat noise it's important to note the position the seat is in and the load placed on the seat when

the noise is present. These conditions should be duplicated when verifying and isolating the cause of the

noise.

Cause of seat noise include: 
1. Headrest rods and holder 
2. A squeak between the seat pad cushion and frame 
3. The rear seatback lock and bracket 
These noises can be isolated by moving or pressing on the suspected components while duplicating the con-

ditions under which the noise occurs. Most of these incidents can be repaired by repositioning the component

or applying urethane tape to the contact area.

UNDERHOOD

Some interior noise may be caused by components under the hood or on the engine wall. The noise is then

transmitted into the passenger compartment.

Causes of transmitted underhood noise include:
1. Any component installed to the engine wall
2. Components that pass through the engine wall
3. Engine wall mounts and connectors
4. Loose radiator installation pins
5. Hood bumpers out of adjustment 
6. Hood striker out of adjustment
These noises can be difficult to isolate since they cannot be reached from the interior of the vehicle. The best

method is to secure, move or insulate one component at a time and test drive the vehicle. Also, engine rpm or

load can be changed to isolate the noise. Repairs can usually be made by moving, adjusting, securing, or

insulating the component causing the noise.
