FRONT SEAT BACK NOISE OR RATTLE (INSTALL BUSHING P/N)

FRONT SEAT BACK NOISY

VEHICLES AFFECTED: 1982 THROUGH 1987 CAMARO AND FIREBIRD -----------------

Some owners of 1982 through 1987 Firebirds and/or Camaros may comment on a rattle type noise coming from the front seat back passenger and/or drivers side. This noise can be eliminated by installing a new bushing, P/N 17960700, at the seat back inboard pivot arm attaching location.

The new bushing, P/N 17960700, should be installed with the large end toward the seat frame.

Use the most applicable labour operation from the Canadian Labour Time Guide and claim 0.6 hours.

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.
