The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits
the symptom(s) described in this PI.

Condition/Concern:
Some customers may comment of a snap clunk noise from under the
vehicle. This may occur while driving or parking lot maneuvers and
may be the result of the stabilizer links making noise.

Recommendation/Instructions:
Isolate the front and rear stabilizer bar links one at a time and
evaluate. Replace any link subject to noise.

Note: The XLR base vehicle is equipped with a front stabilizer only.
XLR V-series and the Chevrolet Corvette have front and rear
stabilizers.

Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and
complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without
completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be
performed.
