C 1500 Truck 2WD V8-350 5.7L (1989)
This condition may be corrected by replacing both the left and right hand metal link arms (Figure 1) with rubber cables (P/N 15675385 (LH) and
15675386 (RH))(Figure 2). These rubber cables were designed to fit more securely against the latch to eliminate the excessive play between the two
halves of the link arm.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1.
Lower and support the tailgate.
2.
Lift the link arm assemblies off the striker bolts.
