NOTE:
THIS BULLETIN APPLIES TO VEHICLES BUILT BEFORE DEC. 5, 1994 (MDH 12.05-XX).
DISCUSSION:
A change was made to the trailing link on Dec. 5, 1994. The change involved the length of the link and composition of the hangar trailing link spacer.
The old spacer was white plastic, the new spacer is metal welded to the trailing link hangar bracket. Due to these changes a complete trailing link service
package must be installed any time an early component requires service.
