This bulletin is being revised to clarify the Warranty Information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 04-03-07-002 (Section 03 - Suspension).


The purpose of this bulletin is to inform the dealer technicians that GM has developed a common service procedure across all vehicle platforms for wheel alignment measurements. Service procedures in SI have been revised as well as Labor Operations E2000 and E2020.

The changes are detailed as follows:

    • The "level and lock" steering wheel steps as well as re-measurement after adjustments, are covered in the adjustment add conditions and, therefore, have been removed from the check alignment allowance.
    • For those vehicles repaired under warranty, the check alignment time is 0.5 hr. This allowance is for alignment machine set-up, checking tire pressure and wheel alignment measurement only.
    • The road test function is now an add time of 0.2 hr.
    • The new time for just TOE, FRONT- ADJUST is 0.7 hr.

All other ADD times for the alignment process have remained the same.
