COASTDOWN WHINE NOISE REPLACE TRANSAXLE STRUT

VEHICLES AFFECTED: 1985-86 'J' MODEL WITH 2.8L (LB6) ENGINE (VIN CODE W) AND 125C TRANSAXLE

Some 1985-86 "J" models with 2.8L engine and 125C transaxle may exhibit an objectionable coastdown whine from 80 Kph to 32 Kph. The noise may be most audible at 40-48 Kph. To minimize this condition, replace the transaxle strut with a 1987 strut assembly part number 14106640. See figure.

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
