A new-style control arm strut and new, improved strut front bushings were brought into production during December 1985.
The new-style control arm strut is 5.5 mm (7/32 in.) longer than previous versions, which gives a larger caster angle than before.
NOTE:
For more information on control arm struts, refer to SB 60-2.
The new strut front bushings can be installed in earlier vehicles but must be replaced in pairs and on both sides of the vehicle. New bushing washers are
also available.
