This bulletin amends a special tool number used in Section 3C of the 1989-92 Geo Metro Service Manuals (ST370-89, ST370-90, ST370-91 and ST370-92, respectively). Previously, a J 34013-38 Alignment Rod was shown during front suspension strut disassembly and assembly procedures. Instead of the J 34013-38, a J 34013-96 should be used for this procedure (Figure 1).
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.
