Intermittent Stiff Steering, Steering Effort Hard, A/C CompressorNoise, Drive Belt Squeal/Chirp (Replace Both Front Inner Wheel Well Front Liners)

Inspect the right front inner wheel well for a splash shield (see #1 in picture above). If the vehicle does not have the splash shield as seen above, replace both front inner wheel well front liners with a second design (see part numbers below). The replacement liner will come with the splash shield attached to it. It may be necessary to drill two 8 mm (0.315 in) holes into the cradle to attach the lower splash shield to the cradle. Use the lower splash shield as a template to show where to drill the holes. Some vehicles will already have the holes drilled in the cradle. It will also be necessary to get two retainers, P/N 21030249 or equivalent, to attach the lower splash shield to the cradle (see # 2 in picture above). If it is necessary to drill holes in the cradle for the retainers, apply an anti-corrosion material to the holes. Refer to the Anti-Corrosion Treatment and Repair information in SI.
