SUBJECT:
POWER ANTENNA NOISY WHEN EXTENDING OR RETRACTING (REPLACE WITH NEW DESIGN ANTENNA)
MODELS AFFECTED:
1991-92 PARK AVENUE/ULTRA AND LESABRE MODELS
Some 1991-92 Park Avenue/Ultra and LeSabre models may experience a condition where the power antenna may create unacceptable noise when extending or retracting. This condition may be worse in colder weather.
To repair the condition replace the antenna with a new part number as shown below. The replacement antenna has a lower viscosity oil in the upper motor bearing and revised plastic shim washer. Antennas built after February 10, 1992 (Julian date 041 92) will use the lower viscosity oil and have an "O" suffix after the part number.
IMPORTANT:
The telescoping portion of the antenna should be periodically cleaned but never lubricated as this will collect dirt and may cause premature failure.
REPLACE ANTENNA ASSEMBLY WITH THE FOLLOWING SERVICE PART NUMBERS:
1992 1991
Park Avenue/Ultra 22138198 22138202
LeSabre 22138201 22138194
