NUMBER: 02-002-03GROUP: Suspension
DATE: Aug. 8, 2003
SUBJECT:
Revised Rear Suspension Lateral Control Links
MODELS:
2004 (JR) Sebring Convertible/Sebring Sedan/Stratus Sedan
DISCUSSION:
A change to the rear suspension rear lateral control links is scheduled to enter production on or about August 6, 2003. The change involves using non-adjustable rear suspension rear lateral control links that do not allow adjustments to be made to the rear suspension camber setting.
In the unlikely instance that the rear suspension camber should become out of specification, adjustable rear suspension rear lateral control links have been released for service (Individual camber specification is: -1.1 to 0.1 degrees. Cross camber specification is: -1.0 to +1.0). For vehicles with suspension sales codes SDA, SDC or SDE use adjustable rear suspension rear lateral control link pin 051 35565AA and for vehicles with suspension sales code SDD use adjustable rear suspension rear lateral control link p/n 05135566AA.
Use the service procedures outlined on TechCONNECT for rear suspension rear lateral control link replacement and suspension alignment.
For vehicles originally built with adjustable rear lateral control links continue to use p/n 04764965M for sales codes SDA, SDC and SDE or p/n 04764961AA for sales code SDD if link replacement is ever necessary.
