Parking Brake - Equalizer Rattles
Bulletin 87-5-7Date
May '87
Ref. No. 87-108-5
Corp. Ref. No. 735004
SUBJECT: PARK BRAKE EQUALIZER RATTLE
MODELS AFFECTED: 1982-87 CENTURYS
Some Centurys may develop a rattle at the park brake equalizer located on the forward side of the rear axle. This "rattle" noise often is transmitted along the park brake cable and sounds like it's coming from the left front area of the vehicle. The "rattle" can be eliminated by the installation of an insulator, Part Number 10055178, (See Illustration). To install the insulator, loosen the park brake adjuster until the front cable can be removed from the cable connector (located at the end of the right hand cable). Remove the front cable from the equalizer and install the insulator.
Reinstall the front cable and adjust the park brake per the Buick Chassis Service Manual.
