Periodic Maintenance

Inspections

Listed below are inspections and services which should

be performed at least twice a year (for instance, each

spring and fall). You should let your GM dealer’s

service department or other qualified service center do

these jobs. Make sure any necessary repairs are

completed at once.

Proper procedures to perform these services may be

found in a

service manual. See “Service and Owner

Publications” in the Index.

Steering, Suspension and Front Drive Axle

Boot and Seal Inspection

Inspect the front and rear suspension and steering

system for damaged, loose or missing parts, signs of

wear or lack of lubrication. Inspect the power steering

lines and hoses for proper hook-up, binding, leaks,

cracks, chafing, etc. Clean and then inspect the drive

axle boot seals for damage, tears or leakage. Replace

seals

necessary.

Exhaust System Inspection

Inspect the complete exhaust system. Inspect the body

near the exhaust system. Look for broken, damaged,

missing or out-of-position parts as well as open seams,

holes, loose connections or other conditions which could

cause a heat build-up in the floor pan or could let

exhaust fumes into the vehicle. See “Engine Exhaust” in

the Index.

Inspect the hoses and have them replaced if they are

cracked, swollen or deteriorated. Inspect all pipes,

fittings and clamps; replace as needed.

Throttle Linkage Inspection

Inspect the throttle linkage for interference or binding,

and for damage or missing parts. Replace parts as

needed. Replace any cables that have high effort or

excessive wear.
