SERVICE MANUAL UPDATE
Subject:
Service Manual Update - Lower Control Arm Ball Stud Nut Torque Specification Changes
Models:
2002-2005 Saturn VUE Vehicles
Attention:
Technician
Purpose
The purpose of this bulletin is to inform Saturn retailers of the availability of a new lower control arm ball stud. This new part results in a change to the
torque specification for the lower control arm ball stud nut in "Fastener Tightening Specifications" in the service manual. Technicians must first identify
the type of ball stud, then select the specification corresponding to that application. A new notice statement requiring identification of the type of ball
stud applies to all references to the lower control arm ball stud.
Note:
There are 2 different ball studs used on this vehicle. The ball stud type must be identified in order to use the correct torque value when tightening the
ball stud nut. If the wrong torque is used, damage may occur to the ball stud.
