DESCRIPTION:

When diagnosing a squeaking noise in the steering gear or column, attention should be paid to the area around the gear.

The root cause for the squeaking noise may be a dry seal in the standard steering gear.

PRODUCT MODIFICATION:

Improved steering gears have been introduced into production during structure week 2010w27. See chassis ranges in header. These steering gears have a date code of 10G05xxxxx or later (See photo 1 in the attachment but only use it as a reference since the date code is in the photo is older).

10: stands for the year.

G: stands for the month. Example: A=January, B = February, etc...F = June,...skip "I"..., M = December

05: stands for the day of the month
xxxxx = serial number.

It is always best to use the component's serial number for applicability rather than the chassis range.

SERVICE
If the squeaking noise is confirmed to be coming from the steering gear, replace the steering gear.
