Suspension › Front › Control Arm › Lower Arm — Chevrolet, GMC · reported 14 Nov 1990 · 237 vehicles potentially affected
What's wrong
NUTS USED TO ATTACH LOWER CONTROL ARMS, REAR SPRING AND SHACKLE, AND REAR SHOCK ABSORBERS DO NOT MEET SPECIFICATIONS AND COULD "STRIP".
The risk
STRIPPING OF THE NUTS IN THE REAR SUSPENSION COULD REDUCECLAMP LOAD ON LOWER CONTROL ARM, WHICH COULD ALLOW THE ARM TO DETACH, RESULTINGIN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND AN ACCIDENT.
The fix
REPLACE LOWER CONTROL ARM ATTACHMENT NUTS AS WELL AS REAR SPRING AND SHACKLE, AND REAR SHOCK ABSORBER NUTS.
SYSTEM: LOWER CONTROL ARM ATTACHING NUTS.VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: LIGHT DUTY TRUCKS
