SERVICE INFORMATION
Use the service procedure detailed below if one of the Applied Vehicles makes a "pop" or "clunk" noise beneath the floorboard which appears to be
coming from behind the front seats, particularly at low speeds while accelerating or when coming to a stop. Such a noise may be caused by movement of
the anchor arm at the # 2 crossmember. If so, it may be resolved by the addition of a spacer washer in the location shown in Figure 1.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1.
Road test vehicle to duplicate and confirm the noise.
2.
If the noise is confirmed, raise the vehicle on a hoist. Make sure all load is off the suspension.
