Frame/Body Mount - Creaking Noise

87olds3

SUBJECT NOISY FRAME MOUNTING NUMBER: 87-T-16


DATE: March 25, 1987

MODELS/YEARS 1987 NINETY-EIGHT MODELS WITH
SECTION: 2A
STANDARD SUSPENSION
Some 1987 Ninety-Eight models may develop a noise at the rear frame to body mounting area. The noise can originate on either side of the vehicle and is caused by the position No. 3 frame to body insulator. The noise sounds like a creak in the door area and occurs on start and stop movement of the vehicle.

To correct the condition, both No. 3 insulator assemblies must be replaced (even if the noise only came from one side) as follows:

FIGURE 1:

1. Remove the No. 3 position insulator assembly and discard. Figure 1. Support the frame as necessary during this operation since the position 2 mount must also be loosened.

FIGURE 2:

2. Install the revised No. 3 mount as illustrated in Figure 2.

3. Torque all bolts to 103 N-m (76 ft.lbs.).
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 for position No.3 mount on the other side of the frame.
