LIFTING FRONT WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLES

TO: ALL CHEVROLET DEALERS

When lifting a front-wheel drive vehicle and working on the rear of the vehicles, the following caution must be observed.

CAUTION:

On front-wheel drive vehicles, the centerline-of-gravity is further forward than on rear-wheel drive vehicles. Therefore, whenever removing major components from the rear of the vehicle, while supported on a hoist, it is mandatory to support the vehicle in a manner to prevent the possibility of the vehicle tipping forward. Personal injury could occur.

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.
