Defect Summary

Vehicle description: chassis cabs. the tapered hole in the drag link end that attaches to the pitman arm tapered ball stud may be machined too deep causing the hole to be oversized. a drag link with an oversized hole may not "seat" the pitman arm tapered ball when assembled. this could cause higher than normal friction between components during operation, and possibly result in joint separation or a broken ball stud.

Safety Consequence
