RACK & PINION POWER STEERING REMANUFACTURED GEARS

VEHICLES AFFECTED: 1982 - 1987 'A' and 'X'

Most service replacement gears for the vehicles listed above will now be remanufactured gears. They are remanufactured to the latest production specifications, and are extensively pre-tested to comply with original equipment standards, by an authorized General Motors supplier.

The remanufactured gears are acceptable for warranty repairs. Normal warranty procedures apply and the applicable labour time guide is to be used.

For core return procedures refer to Parts Merchandising Bulletin Number 30.

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.
