Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Standard Steering Gear
The steering gear is factory
filled with steering gear lubricant.
Seasonal change of this lubricant
should not be performed
and the
housing should
not be drained-no
lubrication
is required for the life
of the steering gear.
Every 36,000 miles, the gear
should be inspected for seal leak
age (actual solid
grease-not just
oily film).
If a seal is replaced or
the gear is overhauled, the gear
housing should be refilled with
Part No. 1051052 (13 oz. con
tainer)
Steering ' Gear Lubricant
which meets
GM Specification GM

DO NOT OVER-FILL the gear
housing.

operation is performed to ensure
against over-filling.

the system is
not performing as it
should.

a
Four Season Air Conditioning

below ambient temperatures of
