Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine UNDERBODY
MAINTENANCE
The effects of salt and other cor­
rosive materials used for ice and
snow removal and
dust control can
result
in accelerated rusting and
deterioration of underbody
com~
ponents such as brake and fuel
lines, frame, underbody floor pan,
exhaust system, ·brackets, parking
brake cables, etc. These
corrosive
effects, however, can be reduced
by periodic flushing of the under- .
body with
plait) water;
In geographic areas having 11
heavy concentration of such COr­
rosive materials , it is recommended
that the comple te underbody
be
inspected and flushed at least once
each year, preferably after a
win­
ter's exposure. Particular atten­
tion should be given to cleaning
out underbody members where dirt and
other foreign materials may
have collected.
If desired, your Chevrolet dealer
can perform this service for you.
In addition, he can provide recom­
mendations on under coating mate­
rials which will help protect your
vehicle from corrosion.

driving habits, etc. To obtain maxi­
mum. tire life you should inspect
a nd rotate your tires regularly.
Many car .and tire dealers will per­
form a free tire inspection and
assist you in identifying uneven
or abnormal tire
wear which is
usually the result of incorrect infla­
tion pressure , lack of regular rota­
tion, improper wheel alignment,
out-of-balance ,
or poor driving
habits.
Bias and bias-belted tires should
be rotated
at least every 7,500
miles . Radial tires should be ro­
tated at least at the first 7,500 miles
and then
at least at 15,000 mile in­
tervals thereafter .or whenever. un­
even tire wear is noticed.
Alignment and Balance
Proper front-end alignment ~i~i­
mizes tire tread wear: To mlmmlze
tire wear, your front-end

sion components should be m-

ever the tires are rotated.
spected regularly. See the
Main:e­
nance Schedule folder for more lU­
formation. Some ball-joints have
built-in wear indicators and some
movement in the joints
is normal.
Improper front -end alignment will
not cause vibration. Improper to e
alignment may cause your front.
tires to drag at an angle resulting in
excessive wear. Improper camber
alignment
may cause your front
tires to wear more on one side than
on the other arid can cau se the
vehicle to
"pull" to the left or right.
Proper tire balancing provides
the best riding comfort and helps
to minimiz e tire tread wear.
Out-of­
balance tires can cause annoyin g
vehicle vibration and irregular tire
wear such
as cupping, flat spots,
etc.

hicle ground dearance, and tire
clearance to
thibody and chassis.
Replacement
with "used" wheels
