The defect
A deficiency exists in the welds securing the rear spring insulator bracket to the axle housing. This IS due to improper positioning of the weld, in relationship to the bracket and axle housing. Failure of the welds would cause separation of the spring insulator bracket and the axle housing, resulting in improper alignment of the affected axle.
The remedy
Dealer will reweld the insulator spring bracket at no cost to owner.
