Lower control arm tsb

i looked to see if my 2017 had the tsb done from the factory and it has 2 out of the 3 holes plugged. Wondering why the 3rd isn’t plugged. Has anyone else had this?

 

Is it making noise? If no, then who cares. If yes, then go to Lowe's or Home Depot and buy the plugs...It's maybe $3. Not trying to be a dick. I plugged them myself when I started hearing the noise because it wasn't worth it to me to take it all the way to the dealer and see if they could "replicate" the problem.

 

No it’s fine I planned on doing it myself. If it wasn’t so easy I wouldn’t even bother as the noise is barely there. Was just wondering why only two of them were plugged and not the third hole.

 

A little bit more expensive than a trip to Home Depot but these fixed my LCAs real nice.

Yup, I plan on getting these in the near future. I have a pretty decent "scratch" on the bottom of one of mine.

 

But extras. I’ve had them disappear after a trip in the woods

 

Exactly, especially when you do this. Add LCA skids and no more howl plus protection Just realized I never took a pic of RCI LCA skids installed. Will add pic later.

 

Do you remember the size.

 

how are they creating a noise?

 

Would it be better to not have these holes plugged help prevent corrosion?

 

It would take decades of corrosion for it to actually matter. They are for drainage.

 

15 mm

 

Wind goes into the holes creating a howl.

 

Not all the holes get plugged

 

The third hole isn't plugged for drainage purposes.

 

What type of plugs(size/brand/material)? Plan on going tomorrow to pick some up

 

On the tab instructions it shows that hole plugged.

 

Yeah, you're missing a plug.

 

what are the plug sizes you would need to buy at Home Depot/Lowes? Does anyone has the actual TSB?
