"Y" AND "L" P/S BRACE ASSEMBLY:
Some early production 1986 Electras and Park Avenues may have a moan-type noise, noticeable at curb idle in "drive" with the A/C compressor operating. To reduce or minimize this condition, a new power steering pump drive belt tensioner brace ("Y"-shaped brace replaced the "L"-shaped brace) was added in production. Refer to illustration. If an owner should comment of this condition, obtain the new brace number 25527886 and one bolt number 14081734 from GMWDD and install as shown on installation.
When installing this new brace, use labor operation T5101 for .2 hours.
