The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.
Condition/Concern
While performing a front end alignment it may be noticed that the upper control arm bracket alignment pin is missing. This pin serves as a pilot for the alignment
cam when adjusting the front caster and camber.
Recommendation/Instructions
If the pin is missing, a 1/4 inch dowel rod or a punch can be utilized as a temporary alignment aid to properly center the cam to the bracket, while making
adjustments and torqueing the control arm nuts
Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the
remaining steps do not need to be performed.
GM bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, NOT a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform these technicians of conditions that may
occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools,
safety instructions, and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, DO NOT assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that
your vehicle will have that condition. See your GM dealer for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
