Default Rear knocking noise
I just had my rear shocks replaced under warranty (steel springs not air). Initially the problem appeared to be fixed, but it is now making the same noise again.

Have just sent a formal email of complaint to Chrysler Customer Care. Will see if that gets a response. Not holding my breath though.

to their credit I got a immediate response it is "Research and Development are working on a solution" that's it. I specified 10 working days for a response in my original email so I will wait for "Research and Development" to respond before I take the matter further, probably ACCC and Fair Trading.

Just got word from my dealer/service dpt that Chrysler USA are working on a fix ETA about mid year. I'm happy with that because they have fixed every thing for me so far. Even the recovery hooks look like being fixed, fingers crossed.

Thought I would check with customer care also. Their advice is " Chrysler USA are currently working through a resolution with their engineers and will hopefully have something back shortly". I too will wait for an outcome at this stage.

This is not the same as those fitted with air bags.
The system is used so you can have a soft spring for a nice ride and still carry a good load.
It appears and this is only a theory at this stage that when the Jeep is not loaded that the valve in the shock is rattling as there is no load on it so the valve gives the rattle sound over Bumps if you put a load in your vehicle the valve is working to lift the vehicle and the noise disappears This is only a theory and not fact at this point. Here is the link for more details.

I did have a better link and will post if I find it

Took my caravan for a 150k run yesterday for the first time. Made no difference at all to the noise. The plot thickens.
