STANZA TRUNK LID TORSION BAR COUNTERMEASURE
APPLIED MODEL: 1987-89 Stanza (T12) Sedans produced before December 14, 1988
SERVICE INFORMATION
There is a slight chance that the trunk lid torsion bars on some 1987-89 Stanza Sedans may fall off. When this occurs, there is no spring force to hold the trunk lid up. The torsion bars fall off due to excessive clearance between the torsion bar and the torsion bar support bracket. This clearance allows the bar to shift toward the rear of the support bracket causing the bracket to deform.
A countermeasure part has been developed to strengthen the support bracket and keep the spring force in the correct position. This part is a spacer that is held in by the force of the torsion bar itself. Install one spacer on each support bracket.
