1993 CADILLAC ELDORADO Parts

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Rust or dirt on a wheel, or on the parts to which it is fastened,
can
make wheel nuts become loose afkr a time. The wheel could
come off and cause an accident. When you change a wheel,
remove any rust or dirt from places where the wheel attaches to
the vehicle. In an emergency, you can use a cloth or a paper
towel to do this; but be sure to use a scraper or wire brush later,
if you need lo, to get all the rust or dirt off. (See “Changing a
Flat Til .’I in the Index.)
When It% Time for New Tires
One way to tell when
it’s time for new tires is
to check the treadwear
indicators, which
will
appear when your tires
have only
2/32 inch
(1.6 mm) or less of
tread remaining.
You need a new tire if:
0 You can see the indicators at three places around the tire.
0 You can see cord or fabric showing through the tire’s rubber.
0 The tread or sidewall is cracked, cut or snagged deep enough to show
0 The tire has a bump, bulge or split.
cord
or fabric.
The tire has a puncture, cut, or other damage that can’t be repaired
well because
of the size or location of the damage.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine While the tires available as standard or optional equipment on General
Motors vehicles may vary
with respect to these grades, all such tires meet
General Motors performance standards and have been approved for use
on General Motors vehicles. All passenger type
(P Metric) tires must
conform to Federal safety requirements in addition
to these grades.
meel Alignment and Tire Balance
The wheels on your vehicle were aligned and balanced carefully at the
factory to give
you the longest tire life and best overall performance.
In most cases, you will not need to have your wheels aligned again.
However,
if you notice unusual tire wear or your vehicle pulling one way
or the other,
the alignment may need to be reset. If you notice your
vehicle vibrating
when driving on a smooth road, your wheels may need
to be rebalanced.
Wheel Replacement
Replace any wheel that is bent, cracked or badly rusted. If wheel nuts
keep coming loose, the wheel, wheel bolts, and wheel nuts should be
replaced. If the
wheel leaks air out, replace it (except some aluminum
wheels, which can sometimes be repaired). See your Cadillac dealer if any
of these conditions exist.
Your dealer
will know the kind of wheel you need.
Each new
wheel should have the same load carrying capacity, diameter,
width, offset, and be mounted the same way as the one
it replaces.
If you need to replace any of your wheels, wheel bolts, or wheel nuts,
replace them only
with new GM original equipment parts. This way, you
will be sure to have the right wheel, wheel bolts, and wheel nuts for your
Cadillac model.

If your vehicle is damaged and requires sheet metal repair or
replacement, make sure the body repair shop applies anti-corrosion
material
to the parts repaired or replaced to restore corrosion protection. \
FOREIGNMATERIAL
Calcium chloride and other salts, ice melting agents, road oil and tar, tree
sap, bird droppings, chemicals from industrial chimneys, and other
foreign matter can damage your vehicle’s finish
if they remain on painted
surfaces. Use cleaners that are marked safe for painted surfaces for these
stains.
FINISH DAiUAGE
Any stone chips, fractures or deep scratches in the finish should be
repaired right away. Bare metal will corrode quickly and may develop
into a major repair expense.
Minor chips and scratches can be repaired with touch-up materials
available from your dealer or other service outlets. Larger areas
of finish
damage can be corrected in your dealer’s body and paint shop.
UNDERBODYMMNTENANCE
Chemicals used for ice and snow removal and dust control can collect on
the underbody.
If these are not removed, accelerated corrosion (rust) can
occur on the underbody parts such as fuel lines, frame, floor pan, and
exhaust system even though they have corrosion protection.
At least
every spring, flush these materials from the underbody with plain
water. Clean any areas where mud and other debris can collect. Dirt
packed in closed areas
of the frame should be loosened before being
flushed. Your dealer or an underbody vehicle washing system can do this
for
you.
