Antenna (Power) - Noisy When Extending or Retracting

Bulletin Number: 92-9-15

Reference Number: 219006R

Publish Date: 7/92


Subject:
POWER ANTENNA NOISY WHEN EXTENDING OR RETRACTING (REPLACE WITH NEW DESIGN ANTENNA)

Models Affected:
1991-1992 BONNEVILLE SSE AND SSEi MODELS



Some 1991-92 Bonneville SSE and SSEi 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.
