#102 of 102 TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 2002-2005 SEDONA STRUT MOUNT by lilreddodge

Nov 13, 2011 (7:08 pm)

Some owners of 2002-2005 Sedona vehicles produced from 5/1/2001-8/31/2005 may complain of front
suspension noise over rough road surfaces at speeds between 18-31 MPH. To reduce the noise Kia has
redesigned the strut mount with a modified rubber composition to improve the overall sound dampening in the
affected speed range. However, all other suspension components should be checked for performance
prior to installing these replacement strut mounts. Concerns with worn out struts andlor rubber
mounting components should be addressed before installing these revised mounts. This TSB should
only be used for customer complaints at speeds between 18-31 MPH.
