This bulletin is being issued to revise the Special Tools and Equipment portion of Section 3 - Front Suspension, in the Service Manual.

A new Ball Joint Separator Tool has been developed in order to fit between the drive axle and the lower ball joint stud on the aluminum steering knuckle assemblies. The new Ball Joint Separator Remover Tool (J 43828) differs slightly in appearance from the original, therefore, a new illustration is not included.
