Defect
The stabi-linker—a component connecting the rear axle to the frame that combines the functions of a torque rod and stabilizer—has insufficient strength. Sharp cornering may cause the arm section to deform. Continued use can develop a crack in the arm, leading to breakage, rear axle misalignment, and loss of mobility.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the stabi-linker with a corrected part.
