   Suspension

   Suspension / Front / Control Arm / Upper Ball Joint

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Equipment description: front ball joint assemblies. The defective parts have a zinc phosphate coating missing on the stud. This coating is used to provide corrosion resistance and galvavized protection between the stud and mating aluminum steering knuckle. Moog part number k6345 and are marked with date codes of 1049291 through 1040006.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   Without the zinc phosphate coating, the stud may have a tendency to corrode and degrade over a long period of time. In extreme cases, the corrosion could contribute to loosening between the stud taper and steering knuckle taper or be exposed to some degree of hydrogen embrittlement. Either of which may lead to stud failure and subsequent loss of vehicle control.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Federal-mogul will send replacement parts at no charge to the part owner or installing facilities. Where applicable, federal mogul will replace defective assemblies with either oem parts or replacements, which have a coated stud in the assembly.

   Steering / Linkages / Arm / Idler and Attachment

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Equipment description: aftermarket idler arms for use on 1986 1/2 - 1995 nissan trucks with 2-wheel drive. A tapered hole in the linkage end is too small in diameter so that the stud in the center link will not install to the correct depth. It would be impossible to install the cotter pin.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   Without the cotter pin, it is possible that the nut could loosen in service or that the stud in the center link could be damaged during the tightening process. If the arm disconnects at this pivot point, the center link will be allowed to drop out of its proper position, causing disruption to the steering.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Moog will replace these idler arms with idler arms from another supplier.

   Products named: Moog Idler Arm 1998.
