specifications.
To check if the screw meets specifications, the screw should be subjected to a 25 lb. ft. (34 N-m.) torque. If the screw does not pass this test, the entire
gear assembly must be replaced.
VEHICLES INVOLVED
Involved are all 1992 C/K and G vehicles with power steering built within the following VIN breakpoints:
DEALER CAMPAIGN RESPONSIBILITY

prior to retail sale. If a unit has been retailed, in order to maintain customer satisfaction, contact the owner immediately and arrange to correct this
condition on his/her vehicle.
