You are most welcome - I only spotted it cause I had my reading glasses on.

(sorry, I don't know the answer to your question though)

 

I'm kind of light on string theory, but maybe it's because the universe is really shrinking and it started in 2009.

 

LOL - ok so Donbrew doesn't know the answer either - Come on people, someone must know?????

 

Just throwing this out there as a possibility as I have no definitive answer. But the EPS motor issues were most likely known about prior to 2011 models coming out so it is possible that they already came with the new version.

Looks wise the original problem EPS motor looked identical to the new version that I installed that fixed my 2007 LS.

 

PART NUMBER? MANUFACTURING PROCESS?

I knew the answer all along, just playing "Big Bang Theory" with the typo.

Silver plate looks just like solid silver.

 

I think that it all started at a 500 watt radio station in Fresno Cal. .... no that was why Ted Baxter was a TV news anchor, Oh I know most of the EPS motors were replaced by 2010 and the 2011\s got the new and improved part#, that's my theory as opposed to E = MC 2

 

Ahhhh change of supplier....maybe to one that could follow diagrams and specifications?
