File in Section: 3 - Steering/Suspension
Bulletin No.: 47-35-01
Date: October, 1994
Subject:
Wheel Cover Rust (install Insulator Kit)
Models:
1993-94 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera with Stainless Steel Wheel Covers and Steel Wheels
Condition
Some customers may comment on rust visible around the circumference of the wheel cover where it meets the wheel rim flange. This rust may migrate
onto the tire's whitewall.
Cause
The inside circumference of the stainless steel wheel cover can rub against the steel wheel rim flange. The black paint on the wheel's rim flange may
wear, exposing bare metal causing light surface rust.
Correction
1.
Remove all wheel covers. (Even if rust condition exists on only one wheel/cover, all four wheels/covers should be inspected and insulators
installed.)
2.
Polish any surface rust off the wheel covers circumference using a light abrasive.
(WHEEL COVER REPLACEMENT IS NOT NECESSARY.)
3.
Remove any rust from the wheel's rim flange and clean flange prior to paint touch-up.
4.
Touch up any bare metal on the wheel rim flange using corrosive resistant primer such as PPG's DP90 (or equivalent) prior to paint top coat.
Always follow manufacturer's instructions.
5.
Procure insulator kit, part number 25536180.
Note:
One kit will service four wheels.
