SUBJECT:
Body Cladding Interferes With Use Of Jack
MODELS:
1994 - 1995 (AS) Caravan
SYMPTOM/CONDITION:
Difficulty engaging the front jack locating pins on the lower sill of the body due to interference with the flange of the body cladding on some LE and ES Caravan models.
DIAGNOSIS:
Visually inspect for adequate clearance for the jack to engage the front locating pins. If additional clearance is needed, perform the repair procedure.
REPAIR PROCEDURE:
This bulletin involves creating a notch in the body side cladding.
1. Raise the vehicle on an appropriate lifting device.
2. Cut out the template illustrated above.
3. Position the template on the bottom flange of the cladding so the notch of the template is centered with the front jack locating pin on the vehicle. Mark the cladding for the notch and the centers for the two 3/8" holes.
4. Drill 1/8" pilot holes at each hole center location, then drill hole to 3/8".
5. Use a utility knife or shears to make the straight cuts for the notch so they intersect the edges of the holes drilled in step 4.
6. Repeat steps 3 through 5 for the other side.
7. Lower vehicle.
