ISSUE
Some vehicles equipped with 4.0L OHV engines may exhibit a loud A/C clutch engagement. Using a different design A/C clutch hub/disc assembly may
reduce this A/C clutch engagement noise.
ACTION
Replace the current designed Leaf spring style A/C clutch hub/disc assembly with the 3-eye style clutch hub/disc, part number F3DZ-190786-A, and
adjust the A/C clutch air gap to 0.35-0.85 mm (0.014-0.033 in). Refer to the appropriate Workshop Manual for removal and installation procedures.
