IDLER ARM LUBRICATION - USE GREASE GUN WITH LONG HOSE

VEHICLES AFFECTED: 1983-85 T 10/15 Trucks ----------------------

During chassis lubrication, accessibility of the idler arm grease fitting is limited.

The grease fitting is accessible from the rear of the splash shield by using a grease gun with a long flexible hose.

For your information, page OA-5 of the 1984 S/T Truck service Manual identifies the steering linkage lubrication points.

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
