oemdtc September 16, 2016 No Comments

NUMBER: 03-002-06
GROUP: Axle and Propshafts
DATE: August 31, 2006

 

SUBJECT:

Front Hub/Half Shaft Click/Pop Sound

 

OVERVIEW:

This bulletin involves installing a rubber gasket to the face of the half shaft that mounts to the hub bearing.

 

MODELS:

2004 – 2006 (CS) Pacifica

 

NOTE: Every time the front half shafts are serviced, the rubber gasket must be replaced.

 

SYMPTOM/CONDITION:

Vehicle may exhibit a popping/clicking/snapping/ticking sound from the front hub/half shaft area during acceleration after Drive to Reverse or Reverse to Driving shifts. The sound may also be present while turning and accelerating from a stop.

 

DIAGNOSIS:

In order to determine if the popping/clicking/snapping/ticking sound is coming from the front hub/half shaft interface, perform the following procedure:

  1. Remove the cotter pin, nut lock, and wave washer from the end of both front half shafts.
  2. With the vehicle’s brakes applied to keep the hub from turning, loosen both half shaft nuts to zero torque.
  3. With the service brake applied, shift the vehicle from Drive to Reverse and Reverse to Drive. Once the transmission is engaged in gear, raise the engine speed to 1800 rpm.
  4. If the sound is not present, perform the Repair Procedure. If the sound is still present, DO NOT replace the half shafts or hub bearings, the source of the sound is elsewhere. Further diagnosis is required.
