1. Remove the tire deflector.
2. Remove the front wheels.
3. Remove the calipers (3) from the knuckle.
4. Remove the brake rotors (2).5. Remove the original front splash
shields (1).
6. Remove the lower control arm deflectors.
7. Detach the wheel speed sensor harness clips from the lower control arm
deflector.
8. Install the small splash shields with two
screws (2) per corner. Torque to 9 Y
(80 lb inch).
Caution
Failure to reattach the wheel speed
sensor harness clips correctly could cause
interference with the wheel speed sensor,
and could damage the vehicle. 9. Re-attach the wheel speed sensor
harness clips by pushing them from the
bottom up, on the back tab. On the
original deflector, the push pins are
pushed from the top down.
10. Install the tall deflectors with three screws (1) per corner. Torque to 3.3 Y
(29 lb inch).
When installing new control arms,
torque the three screws to 4.5 Y
(40 lb inch).
11. Install the front rotors with one screw per corner. Torque to 9 Y(80 lb inch).
12. Apply liquid thread adhesive to the
caliper bolts (GM Part No. 9985399 –
Loctite 272 –Goodwrench 12345493).

Install the calipers with two screws (1)
per corner. Torque the caliper bolts to
200Y (148 lb ft).
13. Reinstall the front wheels using the wheel nut torque. See Capacities and
Specifications 0318.
Caution
After a track event, remove the tall
deflector and the small splash shield and
reinstall the original deflector and splash
shield. Failure to reinstall the original
parts may lead to corrosion, loss of
output, noise, premature brake pad and
rotor wear, reduced high-speed wet
braking, and damage to the tall deflector. 14. After a track event, repeat the steps to
reinstall the original lower control arm
deflectors and splash shields.
15. Reinstall the tire deflectors.
Custom Launch Control (If Equipped)
Custom Launch Control allows the following
parameters for Launch Control to be
modified:
.Launch RPM
.Slip Target (5%–15%)
.Surface Type
To adjust the Launch RPM, all of these
conditions must be met:
.The vehicle must be in Track Mode. See
“Track Mode” underDriver Mode Control

.The steering wheel must be straight.
.The driver door must be closed.
.The transmission must be in a gear other
than R (Reverse). It will work in P (Park)
or N (Neutral).

280 Vehicle Care
Use this rotation pattern when rotating
tires of the same size installed on all
four wheel positions.
If the vehicle has a compact spare tire,
do not include it in the tire rotation.
Adjust the front and rear tires to the
recommended inflation pressure on the
Tire and Loading Information label after
the tires have been rotated. SeeTire
Pressure 0273 and
Vehicle Load Limits 0196.
Reset the Tire Pressure Monitor System.
See Tire Pressure Monitor Operation
0 276. Check that all wheel nuts are properly
tightened. See
“Wheel Nut Torque”
under Capacities and Specifications
0 318.
{Warning
Rust or dirt on a wheel, or on the
parts to which it is fastened, can
cause wheel nuts to become loose
over time. The wheel could come off
and cause a crash. When changing a
wheel, remove any rust or dirt from
places where the wheel attaches to
the vehicle. In an emergency, a cloth
or paper towel can be used; however,
use a scraper or wire brush later to
remove all rust or dirt.
Lightly coat the center of the wheel
hub with wheel bearing grease after a
wheel change or tire rotation to prevent
corrosion or rust build-up.
{Warning
Do not apply grease to the wheel
mounting surface, wheel conical
seats, or the wheel nuts or bolts.
Grease applied to these areas could
cause a wheel to become loose or
come off, resulting in a crash.
When It Is Time for New Tires
Factors, such as maintenance, temperatures,
driving speeds, vehicle loading, and road
conditions affect the wear rate of the tires.
Treadwear indicators are one way to tell
when it is time for new tires. Treadwear
indicators appear when the tires have only

284 Vehicle Care
Wheel Alignment and Tire
Balance
The tires and wheels were aligned and
balanced at the factory to provide the
longest tire life and best overall
performance. Adjustments to wheel
alignment and tire balancing are not
necessary on a regular basis. Consider an
alignment check if there is unusual tire wear
or the vehicle is significantly pulling to one
side or the other. Some slight pull to the
left or right, depending on the crown of the
road and/or other road surface variations
such as troughs or ruts, is normal. If the
vehicle is vibrating when driving on a
smooth road, the tires and wheels may
need to be rebalanced. See your dealer for
proper diagnosis.
Wheel Replacement
Replace any wheel that is bent, cracked,
or badly rusted or corroded. If wheel nuts
keep coming loose, the wheel, wheel bolts,
and wheel nuts should be replaced. If the
wheel leaks air, replace it. Some aluminum
wheels can be repaired. See your dealer if
any of these conditions exist.Your dealer will know the kind of wheel that
is needed.
Each new wheel should have the same
load-carrying capacity, diameter, width,
offset, and be mounted the same way as
the one it replaces.
Replace wheels, wheel bolts, wheel nuts,
or Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS)
sensors with new GM original equipment
parts.
{Warning
Using the wrong replacement wheels,
wheel bolts, or wheel nuts can be
dangerous. It could affect the braking and
handling of the vehicle. Tires can lose air
and cause loss of control, resulting in a
crash. Always use the correct wheel,
wheel bolts, and wheel nuts for
replacement.
Caution
The wrong wheel can also cause
problems with bearing life, brake cooling,
speedometer or odometer calibration,

headlamp aim, bumper height, vehicle
ground clearance, and tire or tire chain
clearance to the body and chassis.
Used Replacement Wheels
{Warning
Replacing a wheel with a used one is
dangerous. How it has been used or how
far it has been driven may be unknown.
It could fail suddenly and cause a crash.
When replacing wheels, use a new GM
original equipment wheel.
Tire Chains
{Warning
Do not use tire chains. There is not
enough clearance. Tire chains used on a
vehicle without the proper amount of
clearance can cause damage to the
brakes, suspension, or other vehicle parts.
The area damaged by the tire chains
could cause loss of control and a crash.
Use another type of traction device only
