SECTION: 3B
Some 1985 and 1986 Firenzas equipped with the 2.8L V-6 engine may exhibit a steering wheel or steering column vibration and/or a booming or
moaning noise while the steering wheel is turned with the engine idling. This condition may be caused by power steering fluid resonance in the return
hose assembly between the steering gear and the steering cooler pipe.
To correct this condition a new return hose assembly has been released, part number 26003798, and should be installed as listed below.
REMOVAL PROCEDURE:
1.
Remove as much fluid as possible from the power steering reservoir.
