Details

On some vehicles, if the rear wheel alignment toe adjustment locking nuts are improperly tightened when an alignment is performed in the field, backlash may develop in the threaded portion of the suspension arm (shaft and turnbuckle), followed by the formation of rust.

If this occurs, threads may wear, causing the arm to separate which could result in loss of vehicle control.

Correction: Dealers will inspect the arms and verify the tightening torque of the lock nuts, or replace the arms, as necessary.
