Axle Shaft: Customer Interest
Drive Axle - Squeaking Noise

Bulletin

84-4-4

Date

Dec. '83

Ref. No.

84-061-4

SUBJECT:

DRIVE AXLE SQUEAK

MODELS AFFECTED: 1979 - 1983 RIVIERA

A squeak could occur where the right hand output flange is bolted to the torsional dampener. The noise may be noticeable when the vehicle is stopped
and when shifting from drive to reverse. To alleviate the squeak, apply one squirt of 90 hypoid gear oil from a plews oiler into each of the two
manufacturing holes in the R.H. output shaft flange, which is adjacent to the support bracket. Refer to figure for the locations of the oil holes.
