DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION AND PROCEDURES
SQUEAK AND RATTLE DIAGNOSIS
ConditionProbable CauseCorrection
Rattle Coming From the
Side Rail
Improperly connected brake
lines.
Tap lightly on the brake lines and listen for a
rattle.

Install plastic tie straps to secure the brake
lines tightly together.
Rattle Under Vehicle at
Higher RPM
The heat shield contacts with
the underbody.
Raise the vehicle and perform a visual
inspection.

Bend the heat shield slightly to gain
clearance from the underbody.
Squeak From the Front
of the Vehicle in Cold
Weather
Poor front stabilizer shaft
insulators taping.
While the vehicle is cold, perform a test drive
and achieve full front suspension travel by
driving through a dip in the road.

Remove the insulators and wrap teflon tape
around the stabilizer shaft. Reinstall the
insulators over the tape.
Thump From Rear of
Vehicle on Bumps
Improperly secured spare tire in
the rear compartment.
Open the rear compartment and perform a
visual inspection of the spare tire and the
tools.

Tightly secure the spare tire and all tools.

Perform a road test to verify that the noise is
eliminated.
Glass Knock Coming
From the Rear of the
Vehicle When Driving
Over Bumps
An out-of-adjustment hatchback
latch.
Test drive the vehicle in order to verify this
condition.

Loosen the latch nuts and adjust the latch
downward.
Rattle Coming From
Door
The door lock solenoid is loose.
Remove the door trim panel and check if the
solenoid is loose.

Tighten the solenoid bolts.

Rattling electrical connectors
inside the door trim panel.
Tap on the trim panel and listen for a rattle.

Remove the trim panel and wrap foam
padding around the connectors as required.
Squeak When
Operating Doors
A lack of lubrication of the door
hinge pins.
Operate the doors and listen for squeaks.

Lubricate the door hinge pins with light oil
and coat with lithium grease.

A lack of lubrication of the door
hold open link arm.
Lubricate the door hold open link arm with
light oil and coat with lithium grease.

9N – 2 FRAME AND UNDERBODY
DAEWOO M-150 BL2
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
GENERAL BODY CONSTRUCTION
This vehicle is constructed with a unitized body which in-
corporates integral front and rear frame side rails.
The front suspension lower control arms are bolted to
and retained by supports, one each on the right and left
sides. The front suspension lower control arm supports
are attached to the underbody with three bolts at two
locations. The engine is bolted to the integral front side
rails. The suspension strut towers must be dimensional-
ly correct in relation to the remainder of the underbody in
order to maintain specified suspension strut and caster/
camber angles.
Since the individual underbody parts contribute directly
to the overall strength of the body, it is essential to ob-
serve proper welding techniques during service repairoperations. The underbody parts should be properly
sealed and rustproofed whenever body repair operations
destroy or damage the original sealing and rustproof-
ing. When rustproofing critical underbody parts, use a
good-quality type of air-dry primer, such as a corrosion-
resistant chromate or an equivalent material. Combina-
tion-type primer/surfacers are not recommended.
TRANSAXLE UNDER COVER
The transaxle under cover is one piece of steel that
serve as shields for the underside of the transaxle. The
covers help protect the engine from small rocks, gravel
and other objects that would otherwise come into con-
tact with the transaxle during normal driving conditions.

REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
ON–VEHICLE SERVICE
ALIGNMENT CHECKING
An accurate method of determining the alignment of the
underbody uses a measuring tram gauge. The tram
gauge set used to perform the recommended measuring
checks must include a vertical pointer able to reach
457 mm (18 inches).
Two types of measurements can be made with a tram
gauge: direct point-to-point measurements and mea-
surements calculated on a horizontal plane (datum line)
parallel to the underbody. Point-to-point measurements
are generally taken on steering and suspension engine
compartment parts and simply require the vertical point-
ers to be set equally.
For horizontal plane measurements, the vertical pointers
must be set as specified for each point to be measured.
Dimensions-to-gauge holes are measured to the center
of the holes and flush to the adjacent surface metal un-
less otherwise specified. It is recommended that the di-
agonal dimensions to the cross-body be checked on
both sides in order to verify the dimensional accuracy of
the vehicle underbody.
FLOOR PAN INSULATORS
The floor pan insulators have been designed for the
higher floor pan temperatures that result from the use
of the catalytic converter in the exhaust system. There-
fore, when servicing a vehicle, it is essential that any in-sulators that may have been disturbed or removed be
reinstalled in the original sequence and location. Also, if
an insulator needs to be replaced, use only the insula-
tion specified for that location on the floor pan.
When servicing or replacing interior insulators, observe
the following instructions.

Install the insulators in the original position and se-
quence. Butt the pieces together in order to avoid
gapping or overlapping.

If it is necessary to replace an insulator, use only the
specified insulation.

Use the original part to determine the amount of re-
placement material required and as a template for
cutting and fitting the new piece to the floor pan.

When installing the insulator, do not enlarge any cut-
outs or holes that are used for the attachment of interi-
or parts such as the instrument panel or the floor
console.

Route the cross-body harness for interior parts over
the floor pan insulators. Clip it in the original location.

Do not apply spray-on deadeners or trim adhesives to
the top of the floor pan at the area directly over the
catalytic converter or the muffler.
Any insulator service repair or replacement should be
the same thickness, size, and location as the original
installation in the vehicle.
