2013-2017 Buick Enclave Advertisement2013-2017 Chevrolet Traverse  2013-2016 GMC Acadia  2017 GMC Acadia (Limited)  Reference Number(s):  PIT5563B  Situation: Rattle or creak noise at slow speeds over bumps or broken pavement.  Cause : The noise may be originating from the front lower control arm front bushing.  Correction : If the noise cannot be pinpointed and after a thorough visual inspection of all front suspension parts and chassis ears have not identified the origination of the noise, replace the front lower control arm front bushing on the side that is making the noise. Follow the entire service procedure in SI as written. The torque sequence of the bushing is critical to resolving the issue.  Replacing the entire control arm may be more advantageous for your customer, depending on the mileage and condition of the suspension components.
