SERVICE INFORMATION

This article has reference to the Special Policy Adjustment Bulletin on Temporary Reduction of Power Steering Assist When Cold, 85-T-58, 85-T-58A and 88-T-80.

Some dealers are replacing a higher than average number of short racks to correct the reduced power steering assist cold condition. After investigation, in most cases this situation has been corrected after dealer service personnel have been reinstructed in the correct techniques and proper tool usage for this service procedure.

Dealer technicians are encouraged to review the split-ring instructional videotape which was sent to all dealers with the special policy bulletin and carefully follow the instructions in the bulletin.

If a copy is not readily available at the dealership, please contact your Oldsmobile zone office and a copy will be made available for your use.
