INTRODUCTION
This updated bulletin is to inform of a change in production to eliminate brake squeal noise in addition to the previous bulletin dealing with a field repair
procedure (the installation of brake shims)
PRODUCTION LINE CHANGE
1)
16-inch front disc brake caliper, housing bracket, and pad kit have been changed to eliminate the brake squeal in reverse, that occurs after a cold
soak.
2)
The applicable VIN numbers have incorporated the changes:
FRONT HOUSING CHANGED (EFFECTIVE AUGUST 8, 2001 BEGINNING WITH THE FOLLOWING VINS)
FRONT CALIPER AND PAD KIT CHANGED (EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 12, 2001 BEGINNING WITH THE FOLLOWING VINS)
Any VIN # after this change should not have the Brake Squeal concern or require the brake shim modification.
PART NUMBERS: NEW AND OLD
FIELD PROCEDURE:
For vehicles produced prior to the previously outlined production line change, if the customer complains of a brake squeal in the AM when backing up
on the first application, you will need to install a new style brake shim part # 26298AE020. This part number will include a set of four (4) shims.
Note:
If you are replacing a pad kit for maintenance, you will need to install this shim set.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE:
1)
Remove the front wheels.
2)
Loosen the front upper caliper bolt. Remove the lower bolt and swing the caliper up out of the way.
