Condition
Some customers may comment on a bump or thump noise heard from the rear suspension or felt in the floor. The information below will affect vehicles with G67 Automatic Level Control rear suspension. This noise will typically occur at traffic lights after rapid stops. This noise is due to a combination of the rear electronic suspension attempting to level the vehicle and the driveline becoming unbound after these rapid stops.
Correction
Contact your DVM (District Service Manager) for approval prior to making any repairs. 4WD Vehicles - Replace the Output Shaft of the Transfer Case and the Drive Shaft Yoke. Reinstall and evaluate operation. 2WD Vehicles - Replace the Output Shaft of the Transmission and Drive Shaft Yoke. Reinstall and evaluate operation.
