THE TIE ROD USED ON THE DANA FA-64 FRONT DRIVE AXLE HAS A THREADED SLEEVE TO PERMIT TOE-IN ADJUSTMENT WITHOUT REMOVING AN END. THE TIE ROD BAR IS NECKED DOWN TO INCORPORATE THE SLEEVE. A STRESS RISER IS CREATED AT THE THREADED PORTION OF THE ADJUSTMENT SLEEVE WHICH MAY CAUSE A FATIGUE FRACTURE AND FAILURE OF THE TIE ROD WHERE IT SCREWS INTO THE SLEEVE. Remedy: REPLACE THE TIE ROD WITH A TIE ROD THAT DOES NOT USE AN ADJUSTMENT SLEEVE.
THE PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE WAS OMITTED IN THE AIR TANK. THE AIR TANK IS THE RESERVOIR FOR THE AIR SUSPENSION AND IS NOT BRAKE RELATED. WITHOUT THE PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE, THERE IS NO BACK-UP SYSTEM TO LIMIT AIR PRESSURE IN THE AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM. Remedy: INSTALL A PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE IN THE AIR TANK.
