SUBJECT:
NYLON COATED WHEEL WEIGHTS
MODELS AFFECTED: 1987 MODELS WITH CAST ALUMINUM WHEELS
Most 1987 model GM cars equipped with cast aluminum wheels now use new high-tech nylon coated clip-on wheel weights. These balance weights
provide a much better appearance, and are used on both the outboard and inboard rim flanges. They will not discolor, corrode, or damage the wheel as
may have been the case in the past with uncoated clip-on weights used on aluminum wheels.
These nylon coated balance weights will fit most GM cast aluminum wheels, and are available for service through GMSPO. They are available in 1/4
ounce increments ranging from 1/4 ounce to 3 ounces, Part No. 9591358 through 9591369 inclusively.
When installing the coated weights, care must be taken so that the nylon coating does not crack. It is recommended that a teflon hammer be used, such as
85403 Nicholson Industrial Hammer, available through the Charles Strelinger Company, Warren, Michigan (313-268-4100) or equivalent.
