| Defect Summary : Equipment description: aftermarket idler arms for use on 1986 1/2 - 1995 nissan trucks with 2-wheel drive. a tapered hole in the linkage end is too small in diameter so that the stud in the center link will not install to the correct depth. it would be impossible to install the cotter pin. |
Consequence Summary: Without the cotter pin, it is possible that the nut could loosen in service or that the stud in the center link could be damaged during the tightening process. if the arm disconnects at this pivot point, the center link will be allowed to drop out of its proper position, causing disruption to the steering. |
| Corrective Summary : Moog will replace these idler arms with idler arms from another supplier. |
