Model: 307 up to DAM 9617
Problem:
A creaking noise can be heard from the front suspension, particularly at manoeuvering speed and over uneven gradients imposing torsional pressure to the sway bar
Solution:
Remove both sway bar bearing caps and apply grease to the front pressure points. See pictures below.
Ensure the torsion bar is fitted in the correct position to prevent contact with the suspension frame.
The recommended tightening for the bearing cap is 104 n.m.
IMPORTANT! Do not grease the rubbers.

pressure point can be clearly seen. Apply grease as indicated on the picture and refit the caps.
Production Solution:
From DAM 9618 a bearing cap with plyurethane coating in the critical area is used.
Part number for the modified component: 509749
