ISSUE:
The steering wheel may vibrate/shake during idle, with the transmission in gear, on some vehicles. This concern is induced by large A/C system and charging system loads. These loads are transferred through the engine and body causing the steering wheel to vibrate while in gear and at idle.








ACTION:
Replace the engine cooling fan, lower radiator mounts, and engine mounts Numbers 3 and 4. Use the Application Chart, found on Figure 1, to install the latest parts. Refer to the applicable model year Service Manual for service details.
