DURING ASSEMBLY, THE TIE ROD END NUTS WERE NOT PROPERLY TORQUED. EXTREMELY LOW TORQUE CAN ALLOW MOVEMENT BEWEEN THE BALL STUD AND THE TIE ROD ARM CAUSING DAMAGE. Remedy: DEALERS WILL CHECK THE TORQUE ON THE BALL STUDS OF THE SUSPECT AXLES AND BRING THE TORQUE UP TO ROCKWELL'S SPECIFICATIONS.
FOUR COMPRESSION BACKPLATE RETAINING FASTENERS ON THE TURBO-CHARGER WERE TORQUED ONLY HAND TIGHT. THIS ALLOWS THE FASTENERS TO LOOSEN, AND CAUSES OIL TO LEAK INTO THE COMPRESSOR AIR SIDE OF THE TURBO-CHARGER WHICH, WHEN COUPLED WITH THE HEAT PRECIPITATED BY THE COMPRESSOR AND THE MIXING ACTION OF THE COMPRESSOR WHEEL, CAN RESULT IN AN AIR/OIL MIXTURE THAT FUELS THE ENGINE. Remedy: REPLACE THE SUSPECT TURBO-CHARGER WITH A NEW TURBO-CHARGER.
