MODELS: 1994-95 CHEVROLET BERETTA, CORSICA 1995 CHEVROLET CAVALIER WITH PG1 WHEEL COVERS

CONDITION:

SOME OWNERS MAY COMMENT ON A CLICKING OR SQUEAKING SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT AND/OR REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THIS NOISE IS MOST NOTICEABLE WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN AND WHILE DRIVING SLOW, ESPECIALLY NEXT TO A WALL OR CLOSE TO BUILDINGS.

CAUSE:

THE OLD STYLE WHEEL COVERS MAY ALLOW MOVEMENT BETWEEN THE WHEEL COVER AND THE WHEEL. TO INSURE CORRECT DIAGNOSIS OF THIS NOISE, CHECK TO SEE THAT THE WHEEL COVERS ARE NOT OF THE NEW DESIGN TYPE.

THE NEW DESIGN TYPE CAN BE IDENTIFIED BY THE PLASTIC LEGS EXTENDING FROM THE BACK SIDE OF THE WHEEL COVER. THESE LEGS CAN BE VIEWED BY LOOKING THROUGH THE UPPER MOST PORTION OF THE DESIGN OPENINGS IN THE WHEEL COVER. THIS CHECK NEEDS TO BE MADE TO IDENTIFY IF THE NEW WHEEL COVER HAS ALREADY BEEN INSTALLED.
