Condition

Some customers may comment on a rattle coming from either or both front corners of the instrument panel near the hood hinge areas. This noise may often be mistaken for a loose shock absorber. The rattle may be heard when driving over rough roads and is most noticeable when the road surface creates a side-to-side vehicle motion.

Cause

Excessive clearance at the hood hinge attaching bolt may cause this condition. The excessive clearance allows the hood hinge to make metal contact with the hood hinge bracket, which produces a rattling noise.

Correction
Important: For additional information, see the Body Front End subsection of the Body and Accessories Section of the appropriate Service Manual.

1. Remove the hood hinge attaching bolt (1).
