Door Handle - Lock Rod Adjustment
Number 84-10-15 Date 4/84Subject: ADJUSTABLE OUTSIDE HANDLE TO LOCK RODS - 1984 6000 AND 2000 SUNBIRD STYLES (REAR DOORS)
When servicing a vehicle with adjustable outside handle to lock rods, it is important that all free play between the outside handle and the lock assembly be removed.
On lift-bar type handles (see illustration), rotate the rod (Item 2) while applying slight downward pressure on the lock lever (Item 3) to remove all free play until the end of the rod is aligned with the hole in the attaching clip (Item 1)..
After installing the adjustable rod to the outside handle, inspect the door lock system for proper operation.
