Things to do:
1. Fuel filler recall- everything went well
2. Crackling noise on rear end- dealer says they removed the drive axle and packed with grease. Also replaced axle bolts. Supposedly a TSB out there for that.
3. Knocking noise on front passenger suspension when turning- supposedly loose bolts on front sway bar and/or A-arm. I find hard to believe on a 9l mile car, but....
4. Very small grease leak on front U-joint- dealer to replace drive shaft under warranty.

I would like to know if anyone else has experienced these issues?

 

Axle clicking is a common issue with the '03s from what I understand; in fact, mine just started making a knocking noise the other day... guess I should take her in.

Other than that, not completely sure...

 

Yeah, mine does that crackling when turning from the front also. Let us know what they say about that.

 

There are TSBs/recalls on all those things, so it is quite common.

How long does it take do get the fuel hose recall done?

 

Should not take more than about 4 hours

 

Crackling is in the back. Knocking is in the front.

They had to remove the rear axles and lube and change ot retorque the bolts.
Front, it was some bolts that had come loose.

 

4 hours is not bad. I am moving to FL soon and I want to get this recall done ASAP.

 

You know what I have my front knockin as well... and was wondering if I should take it in. But since my Z is parcked for the winter... I guess I'll have to have a look underneath in the spring.

 

Oh, btw, the driveshaft is being replaced due to a small grease leak on the front u-joint.
