Before reassembling the strut assembly, glue the new jounce bumper and new dust boot (shield) to the upper spring seat using the steps listed below. If oil is present, replace the affected strut, jounce bumper and dust boot (shield). The leak may be slight but will still cause the concern. Inspect the front strut(s) for evidence of oil.
The jounce bumper loses position due to oil being deposited onto its retention fingers. This condition may be caused by the jounce bumper slamming into the upper spring seat because it is not retained in the correct up position. This noise will typically occur when the front suspension is returning to the upward position after a hard downward stroke, such as after driving through a large rut or pothole. Some customers may comment on a clunk or thump noise coming from the front suspension while driving over rough road surfaces.
