GROUP: Steering

DATE: Sep. 30, 1994

SUBJECT:
Steering Column/Gear Service

MODELS:

1995 (JA) Cirrus/Stratus

DISCUSSION:





A new steering gear coupler retaining pinch bolt, P/N 6502413, MUST be installed anytime the steering column/intermediate shaft or steering gear are serviced. This pinch bolt contains a mastic patch that is destroyed when initially installed. Installing a used/new bolt without a mastic patch will affect the axial alignment of the connection when tightening the bolt.
