Condition
Some customers and dealers may comment on accelerated rear brake wear on some of the above listed vehicles. This condition occurs mainly on the
right rear inboard brake pads and on vehicles that are exposed to extensive off-paved roads.
Correction
Install a mud flap forward of each rear wheel using the following procedure. Installation of these mud flaps and following the recommended off-road
driving information provided in the vehicle's Owner's Manual should greatly reduce the possibility of accelerated rear brake component wear.
Important:
Always work from outboard to inboard, drilling one hole at a time and securing with a fastener. Follow the sequence of the procedure. This
will prevent distortion of the mud flap.
1.
Raise the vehicle. Support the vehicle.
2.
Locate the pickup box side panel rear brace.
3.
Remove the existing outboard upper fastener on the brace.
4.
Install the mud flap through the "V" of the brace. Install the previously removed fastener in the hole (2) of the mud flap to the brace. Do not
tighten the fastener at this time.
