STEERING:LINKAGES:KNUCKLE:SPINDLE:ARM
DEFICIENCIES, IN THE FORM OF FORGING LAPS, CRACKS AND EXCESSIVE DECARBURIZATION DURING HEAT TREATMENT, EXIST IN THE STEERING KNUCKLES. STRESSES IMPOSED WITH INTEGRAL HYDRAULIC POWER STEERING MAY LEAD TO A FAILURE IN THE AREA OF THE STEERING ARM ATTACHING BOSS. THIS TYPE OF FAILURE WOULD CAUSE LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL.
Remedy: DEALER WILL INSPECT AND, IF NECESSARY, REPLACE THE LEFT STEERING KNUCKLE WITH AN IMPROVED TYPE OF KNUCKLE.
